When all was over, and the bride and bridegroom had signed their names in the vestry, before admiring witnesses, the sporting gentleman rose and walked softly out of the pew, and along one of the obscure side-aisles. The wedding-party passed out of the church-porch. The Major followed slowly. Philip Jocelyn and his bride went straight to the carriage that was to convey them back to the Abbey.
A gentleman from London had seen the statue, and was so much delighted with it that he bought it of the father-artist, after it had lain above a quarter of a century in the church-porch. So this was not the real, tender image that came out of the father's heart; he had sold that truest one for a hundred guineas, and sculptured this mere copy to replace it.
I am free to admit that the name of the place bore a feeling of uneasiness, and a love of distance, in some measure to my heart. But I did my best not to think of this; only I thought it a wise precaution, and due for the sake of my mother and Lorna, to load my gun with a dozen slugs made from the lead of the old church-porch, laid by, long since, against witchcraft.

'I should think that you were now in a humble, contrite frame, and therefore better prepared than when self-confident. 'How many times! how shall I think of them! but I will, said Lily; 'and Robert, will you think of me when you say the Absolution now and next Sunday at the altar? They were by this time at the church-porch. As Mr.
