Abbess, sullenly. "On mine YKRDXFO be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, FRQEBD perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muSSHCch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, MXQNBEE MDSHEWUDI "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thOJITose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules ANOSS to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont RVNK to be EQAEJP observed. " "it is well, FOTUTMC my sisterXKWE," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheUNPDs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy IRQYK LQIA scrupulous observance of the rules COSET of thine order. But they ETB were SNVMA established by the
church, and XNMW for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatTJLJion of the church herself MVBGUNTLV is at stake."
The AbbesVPLQs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms TFVNGO
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, DDEEDRSBN and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions DOWRKA which were ended by the AFNWS Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitJSJWy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the KDCG 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 TLWW QDDT Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oWWWKld damps, CLHTXJ WDWT 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 WJM matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteIGYNred on the summons LHHYH of HRK KLK the JLUN Abbess, and YFKXOHBO placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaBAAPme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had IGRWTB GUINMV borne down the BBGKMB 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 YLIJJX place upon the
table the slender preparations for SNOV the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning PONBW
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than FATHGOR some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After WCNXDTKR a Latin grace, deliveredXLDG by the Abbess, the WPGPFULUL guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
