presently interrupted; the two good dames have been soaring yonder on the balcony, like two DQVFAXDX old hooded crows, and their croak RVVXLOWKP grows hoarser as night comes on; they will wing to
roost presently.— This mistress of yours, fair gentlewoman, CQQ who was she, in God's name?" "Oh, she AKAATG has a fair name in the world, " replied IJLIBO 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, BWV
to be sure, but we heard enough of her; were up early and down BVCCNA late, and were XOLON kept to long prayers and light food." "Out upon the penurious old XEPR 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. XQCASWI 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 BGTLJKMH were
twelve nuns and an abbess. My JQFLU aunt was the abbess, till the heretics turned SLUJYKWA all QNRQGTQY adrift. " "And where are your companions?" SYBYUOLIC asked the youth.
"With the last year's snow," answered the maiden; "east, north, south, and SRUAFPU west — some to France, some to Flanders, some, I fear, into the world

herself; "no IEXVJRUO more of that! MLGAT but I have not quite cried my eyes out," said she, turning them upon him, and instantly again bending them upon FIWHKWKNW her CEDYND work. It was one of those glances
which would require PWIBDIW NBREPGK the threefold plate of brhi around the PCRYYYLV heart, more than it is needed by the mariners, to whom JYVOF Horace recommends it. Our youthful page had no
defence whatever to offer. "What say YPSFHRPI you, UYFKA Catherine," he said, "if we two, thus strangely turned out of service AORG at the same time, should give our two most venerable duennas
the AHIT torch to hold, while we walk a merry measure with each other over IHTTF the floor of this weary world?" "A goodly proposal, FUDVADLSK truly," TMACIY said KUBMMSS Catherine, "and worthy
the mad-cap brain of a discarded ODDILMCIT page!— And what shifts does KDXGE your worship propose DSY we should live by?— by singing ballads, cutting purses, or swaggering on the highway? NOMNSWPDT 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 QRG and
