Abbess, sullenly. "On mine AFEKWYW be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, LPGYQX perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muESLPch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, OUBYUAE SDONQXPTE "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thTGDUose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules ERMKQ to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont EKXW to be WNORRN observed. " "it is well, MRTGWJV my sisterOHLI," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheNIORs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy FUJSF CWQC scrupulous observance of the rules VPQMH of thine order. But they KDT were EWCCI established by the
church, and BSQO for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatDGYTion of the church herself XFPJAUOYN is at stake."
The AbbesQUDJs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms IMTLJY
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, KLDTOVMGB and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions SFURMK which were ended by the DMIRL Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitXLJEy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the URQR 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 FASR OXLD Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oTXLUld damps, TRRLED QTNL 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 FLW matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteOPTIred on the summons JNPJG of IXE VEA the WPWQ Abbess, and JPEQUWKK placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaIPXHme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had HQCRAP IJYSKF borne down the OQINGF 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 ESWKJT place upon the
table the slender preparations for ITES the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning BSVFN
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than VWVHVOR some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After EFIMTRRA a Latin grace, deliveredKRLT by the Abbess, the LVPSOBXRW guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
