On her arrival at Lessboro', Martha had hired a fly, and been driven out to Nuncombe Putney; but she felt, she knew not why, a dislike to be taken in her carriage to the door of the cottage; and was put down in the middle of the village, from whence she walked out to Mrs. Stanbury's abode, with the basket upon her arm.
Now, it was quite understood in the Close by this time that "the Colonel" meant Colonel Osborne. "No!" "I'm told he has though, ma'am, for sure and certain." "Who says so?" "Giles Hickbody was down at Lessboro', and see'd him hisself, a portly, middle-aged man, not one of your young scampish-like lovers." "That's the man." "Oh, yes. He went over to Nuncombe Putney, as sure as anything; hired Mrs.
Trevelyan, and had slept the night at the inn at Lessboro'. The thing was so terrible to Miss Stanbury's mind, that even false hair, Dr. Colenso, and penny newspapers did not account for it. "I shall begin to believe that the Evil One has been allowed to come among us in person because of our sins," she said to Martha; and she meant it. In the meantime, Mrs.

"The Colonel" had ordered a gig, on the day after his arrival at Lessboro', for the village of Cockchaffington; and, for all Mr. Bozzle knew, the Colonel had gone to Cockchaffington. Mr.
Bozzle to Lessboro'? It ended in his resolving at last to wait for the letter which was to be addressed to Z. A. But he spent an interval of horrible suspense, and of insane rage. Let the laws say what they might, he would have the man's blood, if he found that the man had even attempted to wrong him. Then, at last, the second letter reached him. Colonel Osborne and Mr.
This was ended by Miss Stanbury sending him down to Lessboro' to learn the very name of the gentleman, and by his coming back with that of the Honourable George Glascock written on a piece of paper. "They says now as he was arter the other young 'ooman," said Giles Hickbody. Then was the confusion of Miss Stanbury complete.
