To Esther he wrote by the same post: My dear Sister Esther Magdalene, Do not be angry with me for running away, and do not despise me for trying to enter a monastery in such a mood. I'm as much the prey of religion as you are. And I am really horrified by the revelation of what I am capable of. I saw in your eyes yesterday the passion of your soul for Divine things.

Ivy, and thoughtless; but it's my belief that, wi' care and circumspection, ye may yet do credit to yoursel'. But just you bear this in mind: that him that awes siller should never gie siller." Well, what was there to say? I accepted his rebuke, and, bidding the pair farewell, set off alone upon my southward way. "Mr. St.
