Abbess, sullenly. "On mine IRFFTVT be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, EEAGGC perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muGUGSch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, UQAHWAP OBPRLXORT "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thUXJAose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules FVFYP to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont RPGN to be KJRDWR observed. " "it is well, DKWUNJV my sisterUBAU," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheCHCNs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy CWBQF OKYL scrupulous observance of the rules AHGMT of thine order. But they YWP were LXJCE established by the
church, and VRWT for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatJSTXion of the church herself UVEXLFGUC is at stake."
The AbbesITNFs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms OVXAOT
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, LKSBIXFWY and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions VHTXJK which were ended by the DLTEM Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitJJEHy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the OJQO 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 QRLF GSFQ Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oHUMBld damps, WQVNDM ABKF 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 WXI matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteDLHTred on the summons PVLWR of OMM LOL the LNKU Abbess, and GGVVCHVU placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaLLKNme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had BWAMWA GOONIS borne down the YYEMPR 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 HVXDTA place upon the
table the slender preparations for NPWY the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning CIMFH
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than OREOAVF some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After NGXPFECU a Latin grace, deliveredVMST by the Abbess, the PNWDFTEHE guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
