The fact is, he happens to have a friend in the neighbourhood whom he has long promised to visit; and as he must be at Lessboro', he does not choose to go away without the compliment of a call. It will be as much to you as to me." "I don't want to see him in the least," said Nora. "There is his letter. As you seem to be so suspicious, you had better read it." Then Nora read it.

Ellison, of Lessboro', writing to that lady a most cautious and guarded letter. At last it became a fact proved to her mind that Colonel Osborne had been at the Clock House, had been received there, and had remained there for hours, had been allowed access to Mrs.

Ellison of Lessboro', who lived only four miles from Nuncombe, and who kept a pony-carriage. It would be a great thing to know how these ladies had behaved in so difficult and embarrassing a position. Mrs. Trevelyan and her sister had now been at Nuncombe Putney for more than a fortnight, and something in that matter of calling must have been done, or have been left undone.

"I do not like to blame my brother," said Priscilla, "because he has done his best to be good to us all; and the punishment will fall heaviest upon him, because he must pay for it." "He should not be allowed to pay a shilling," said Mrs. Trevelyan. Then the morning came, and at seven o'clock the two sisters, with the nurse and child, started for Lessboro' Station in Mrs.

I am ashamed of myself, because I am so unworthy; but I would put up with that shame rather than lose you now. Brooke, Brooke, I will so try to be good to you!" In the afternoon Martha and Dorothy started together for Exeter, Brooke and Priscilla accompanying them as far as Mrs. Crocket's, where the Lessboro' fly was awaiting them.

Stanbury, not much to her delight or to his, when the carriage was driven up to the door. "He is to go back to Lessboro' to-night," said Mrs. Stanbury in a whisper. "Of course you must see him before he goes," said Mrs. Trevelyan to her sister. There had, as was natural, been very much said between the two sisters about Mr. Glascock.
