Lady Hapgood. Of Hapgood Castle. But
her second husband, who was a good and

venturing to take part in the discussion.
The consequence was that Elizabeth
ruled over him, as did her friend. Ermin-
trude smythe. who lived across the street,
and was as proud of displaying her knowl-
edge as Elizabeth herself
The next afternoon when Elizabeth
came home she found the house deserted.
On the table lay letter addressed to
her. Picking it up, she read as follows

and know everything better than any
body else. we have agreed to go away
