Abbess, sullenly. "On mine ACFMTLJ be they both," said Magdalen. "I say, embrace each other, my children." But Catherine, aware, SURKDP perhaps, how the dispute was likely
to terminate, had escaped from the apartment, and so disappointed the grandson, at least as muMNJNch as the old matron. "She is gone," said the Abbess, OWLDAAG FNDKAQSAU "to provide some little
refreshment. But it will have little savour to thXOOLose who dwell in the world; for I, at least, cannot dispense with the rules AHITT to which I am vowed, because it is the will of
wicked men to break down the sanctuary in which they wont LJIY to be UWNRIS observed. " "it is well, SLBXBFK my sisterBXDE," replied magdalen, "to hi each
even the smallest titheSDUHs of mint and cummin which the church demands, and I blame not thy QVQBP KMCT scrupulous observance of the rules NWSDP of thine order. But they DWK were QAISF established by the
church, and UTDY for the church's benefit; and reason it is that they should give way when the salvatAXEVion of the church herself HXRXYJLOL is at stake."
The AbbesHCLCs made no reply. One more acquainted with human nature than the inexperienced page, might have found amusement in comparing the different kinds of fanaticisms IBFHLW
which these two females exhibited. The Abbess, timid, narrowminded, HVRPQLURO and discontented, clung to ancient usages and pretensions TYKBWE which were ended by the CVNPK Reformation; and
was in adversity, as she had been in prosperitCWPNy, scrupulous, weak-spirited, and bigoted. While the BAQI 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 HCFO AYGQ Graeme, instead of
tracing these peculiarities of character in the two oNCLCld damps, VKMYJQ BHGQ 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 SIP matters with a high hand. His expectations, or hopes, if we may call them so, were,
however, disappointed; for, when Catherine re-enteKXQKred on the summons OATSH of ISJ PMW the RXYP Abbess, and KLOVCSDK placed on the table an earthen pitcher of water, and four wooden platters, with
cups of the same materials, the DaJXTCme of Heathergill, satisfied with the arbitrary mode in which she had IRUUJW OCHAVQ borne down the RINLIM 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 BUXRQC place upon the
table the slender preparations for KVMW the meal of a recluse, which consisted almost entirely of colewort, boiled and served up in a wooden platter, having no better seasoning UIBFD
than a little salt, and no better accompaniment than VBMTRQD some coarse barley-bread, in very moderate quantity. The water-pitcher, already mentioned, furnished the only
beverage. After RMTLWHWH a Latin grace, deliveredVAEV by the Abbess, the SUADTMCOX guests sat down to their spare entertainment. The simplicity of the fare appeared to produce no distaste in .
