Abbess, sullenly. "On mine IEXCNRR be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, YBOWIO perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muCRRKch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, VIUFYJO SWEJRFHCJ "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thFEYWose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules VXBMW to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont JBAE to be JHFSYY observed. " "it is well, KROVATU my sisterYRUC," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheFRMGs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy TSCGS HRDO scrupulous observance of the rules LCPDH of thine order. But they APR were UFPUB established by the
church, and LHTE for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatIIGXion of the church herself WWLMDWQFQ is at stake."
The AbbesCOMXs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms TSHLXA
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, GTFWGUHCY and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions XOGVQG which were ended by the MRGLN Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitUHWLy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the DQVR 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 JDGF SFUV Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oXVPJld damps, DQSHYX SNKP 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 BWP matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteCNAOred on the summons AJVQT of GUB FIO the FXLC Abbess, and KQWILALC placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaEQPCme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had EAIDIV FNLXUW borne down the NNEPVI 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 AUOVXO place upon the
table the slender preparations for LWOA the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning CDNCX
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than MHKCQCL some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After QBLGOPXN a Latin grace, deliveredAXIQ by the Abbess, the WIGIFUKHA guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
