He says that there are two young ladies of the name of Beverley, who have been placed under the charge of his friends, the Ladies Conynghame, who is aunt to Major Chaloner, who has been for some time concealed in the forest. But I have letters to write, my dear Patience. To-morrow, if I live and do well, I will ride over to the cottage to see Humphrey Beverley."
"Why, thou insensible and unnatural animal! they are thy sisters, Alice and Edith; and do you not recognize behind them my good aunts Conynghame?" "It is so, I believe," replied Edward. "Yes, now that Edith smiles, I'm sure it is them." "Yes," replied Grenville, "there can be no doubt of that; but will they, think you, recognize us?"
I must have remained here with Pablo if my sisters had gone to the Ladies Conynghame and you had remained with the intendant; I shall, therefore, till I hear from you, remain where I am, and shall be able to observe what is going on here, and let you know."

If the answer is favorable from the Misses Conynghame my sisters shall go to them; but that we had agreed upon already. Then for myself I intend to go abroad, resume my name, and obtain employment in some foreign service. I will trust to the king for assisting me to that."
