Abbess, sullenly. "On mine OTPXGKV be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, LXFLTC perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muINTVch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, XAHCCGP WPICIJNYE "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thDWKPose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules SXOAJ to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont KETX to be XPXBAD observed. " "it is well, FGSFWDH my sisterHNUG," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheRAGCs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy RBCIC OSGI scrupulous observance of the rules THYTK of thine order. But they BWP were HSUGV established by the
church, and EPJB for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatYBDFion of the church herself FVIKEKYAT is at stake."
The AbbesJVDKs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms RNLPDV
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, KBCGHSQJR and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions TOYAMH which were ended by the KRULT Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitQWRTy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the IJHV 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 BMRL NWUV Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oPLHJld damps, HXKHLT TFOH 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 YFH matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteSBPEred on the summons INIVG of VLD QJU the ESGM Abbess, and RQVDKSIC placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaCJJJme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had CLBGVP OTXLGD borne down the EPAJLG 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 XDYTGJ place upon the
table the slender preparations for MQNP the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning AXBCL
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than DKHSCCS some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After PKVTCVFN a Latin grace, deliveredEDQD by the Abbess, the AYOOPDGPD guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
