Abbess, sullenly. "On mine YTAGFPQ be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, XCFSNY perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muYQRTch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, KDUXKGQ WPHBSHATB "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thBCJSose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules THVYA to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont LYBC to be SXPYUP observed. " "it is well, JBGISOJ my sisterLXMH," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheANKJs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy GESED UPCY scrupulous observance of the rules UXWMW of thine order. But they RCG were SKONB established by the
church, and BCAN for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatJCBTion of the church herself NJXGOCDGG is at stake."
The AbbesCBEYs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms NBSPJN
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, DBCECEGRN and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions IUIVEI which were ended by the EUMIC Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitTMDAy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the OTEH fiery and more lofty spirit of her companion suggested a wider field of
effort, and would not be limited by ordinary rules in the extraordinary schemes which were suggested by her bold and irregular imagination. But Roland LPVO QAVU Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oEEMTld damps, NHELON QLAB only waited with great anxiety for the return of Catherine, expecting probably that the proposal of the
fraternal embrace would be renewed, as his grandmother seemed disposed to carry NVN matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteTYCPred on the summons DKBSI of SKI OHO the SUII Abbess, and ENUUDNHF placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaOUECme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had QDHGGR IBCBNK borne down the RVBMQJ opposition of the Abbess, pursued her victory no farther
— a moderation for which her grandson, in his heart, returned her but slender thanks. In the meanwhile, Catherine continued to VWYSSE place upon the
table the slender preparations for GAKU the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning WOYQT
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than GWAAHDE some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After KRQCNRRG a Latin grace, deliveredCNFD by the Abbess, the IXIOASLXJ guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
