Abbess, sullenly. "On mine PFYDJQG be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, FYHBRI perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muCNQBch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, UBBOCFL HMXAMJUEQ "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thUIANose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules QHMBJ to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont GJLT to be BOQEPH observed. " "it is well, GVSQKSS my sisterXCOE," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheSLMSs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy YGDNH MTQA scrupulous observance of the rules QTOHX of thine order. But they FPH were DIXNC established by the
church, and QNEH for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatSXUHion of the church herself STNXHUKEO is at stake."
The AbbesKUKCs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms CLJTSM
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, DSCHJSNTL and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions NOUJLL which were ended by the HUGUY Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitWHTIy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the JYTS 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 SOHX HMHS Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oFVMSld damps, LENWPY FKIC 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 MHJ matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteGPTFred on the summons LOBAY of YHL HBS the FPLS Abbess, and VBQLDXYL placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaANUJme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had TNFCBU DCTELH borne down the NOASFN 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 ODOFRR place upon the
table the slender preparations for DQFF the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning GBOAQ
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than UERRJTN some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After OIUEWWXE a Latin grace, deliveredKOIB by the Abbess, the TATYSBEYE guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
