CHAPTER XII.
London Life.

The trusting, generous letter which
Joris had written to his son-in-law
arrived few days before Hyde's de-
parture for London.
Hyde knew well the importance of
Katherine's fortune. It enabled him
to face his relatives and friends on
q very much better footing than he
had anticipated. So he was no longer
averse to meeting his former compan-
ions; even to them, rich wife would
excuse matrinmony.
His first social visit was paid to his
maternal grandmother. the dowager
Lady Capel. He found her in the
most careless dishabille. wigless and
implanted, and rolled up comfortably
in an old wadded morning gown that
had seen years of snuffy service. But
she had outlived her vanity. Hyde had
chosen the very hour in which she had
nothing whatever to amuse her, and
he was very welcome interruption.
And, upon the whole, she liked her

And 1t was during this hour OF trial
to Miriam, that Joris was talking to
Lysbet Of her. 1t did him good to put
his fears into words. for Lysbet's
assurances were comfortable; and as
1t had been day full Of feeling, he
was weary and went earlier to his
room than usual. On the contrary
Lysbet was very wakeful. She car

down to think.
In the midst Of her reflections,
Bran returned. She had not expect

feet was pleasant He came in slowly,
and, after some pottering, irritating
delays, he pushed his fathers chair
back from the light and with heavy
sigh sat down in it.
