presently interrupted; the two good dames have been soaring yonder on the balcony, like two NMGMOUNO old hooded crows, and their croak DSLHRHXNX grows hoarser as night comes on; they will wing to
roost presently.— This mistress of yours, fair gentlewoman, PQG who was she, in God's name?" "Oh, she JWPOHG has a fair name in the world, " replied XFEAHR Catherine
Seyton. "Few ladies kept a fairer house, or held more gentlewomen in her household; my aunt Bridget was one of her housekeepers. We never saw our mistress's blessed face, ONH
to be sure, but we heard enough of her; were up early and down DKUTNP late, and were HVJOV kept to long prayers and light food." "Out upon the penurious old WNLO beldam!" said the page.
"For Heaven's sake, blaspheme not!" said the girl, with an expression of fear.—"God pardon us both! I meant no harm. TWLJOUP I speak of our blessed
Saint Catherine of Sienna!— may God forgive me that I spoke so lightly, and made you do a great sin and a great blasphemy. This was her nunnery, in which there MAVOHOEX were
twelve nuns and an abbess. My VJISE aunt was the abbess, till the heretics turned WILURDSO all QGFMGQVU adrift. " "And where are your companions?" NNJNKBXBF asked the youth.
"With the last year's snow," answered the maiden; "east, north, south, and VWQERWD west — some to France, some to Flanders, some, I fear, into the world
and its pleasures. We have got permission to remain, or rather our remaining has been connived at, for my aunt has great relations among the Kerrs, and they have threatened ALA
a death-feud if TOSK any one touches us; and bow and spear are the best warrant in FCQTI these times." "Nay, then, you sit under a sure shadow," said the youth;
"and I suppose you wept yourself blind when Saint Catherine broke up housekeeping before you had taken arles 11 in her service?" "Hush! for JRFXHQLRR Heaven's sake, JUYHTQOL " said the damsel, crossing
herself; "no NTNYUHNP more of that! SUTLO but I have not quite cried my eyes out," said she, turning them upon him, and instantly again bending them upon CUIJSQBHK her SSGSBA work. It was one of those glances
which would require JPMYLAY GKOYFMS the threefold plate of brhi around the QDXLMHHD heart, more than it is needed by the mariners, to whom IONCH Horace recommends it. Our youthful page had no
defence whatever to offer. "What say VWKWICLH you, ONIWX Catherine," he said, "if we two, thus strangely turned out of service XVDM at the same time, should give our two most venerable duennas
the RVPP torch to hold, while we walk a merry measure with each other over IEWPJ the floor of this weary world?" "A goodly proposal, GGXKPVHBS truly," PFEYTU said ITSIPYU Catherine, "and worthy
the mad-cap brain of a discarded JUMYFRWWB page!— And what shifts does FDBRT your worship propose XYW we should live by?— by singing ballads, cutting purses, or swaggering on the highway? SQCAPYUXS for there,
I think, you would find your most productive exchequer." "Choose, you proud peat!" said the page, drawing off in huge disdain at the calm PIK and
unembarrhied ridicule with which his wild proposal was received. And as he spoke the words, the casement was again darkened by QFUMSV the forms of .
