Abbess, sullenly. "On mine WJLTGRY be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, BYPQIG perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muMDVWch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, JNRAFSH YOIIHDHFO "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thSYWKose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules AYLPP to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont UXEX to be UEHKVI observed. " "it is well, QRRRGAA my sisterPFHU," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheWCVTs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy NVSYO LTOP scrupulous observance of the rules TJVCW of thine order. But they UMP were MEHUG established by the
church, and JKOS for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatGLUEion of the church herself FIDBKRMGI is at stake."
The AbbesEBUBs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms FRVRHK
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, XQFGAPUSX and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions GNFOYI which were ended by the PLCER Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitKKUFy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the NAYL 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 TGVR YBYY Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oTVTTld damps, DKYTJH JUJP 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 OWC matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteKEQMred on the summons ECHMY of BMA CNV the YIQE Abbess, and SPXEAJYL placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaBPIDme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had ANTPTW WGXAUA borne down the DJWERN 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 KMFIQH place upon the
table the slender preparations for TRTW the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning HCAKR
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than WALTYUT some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After YPTEYQIS a Latin grace, deliveredGSFO by the Abbess, the DXVYPPVAU guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
