It was a look of unutterable woe, of grief, shame, agony, and profound astonishment. But there was no incredulity. Whatever Mrs. Meldreth had told her Enid had believed. The Rector made one step towards the bed. "If you have anything to confess, Mrs. Meldreth," he began; but Enid interrupted him.
Flossy did justice to her meal, and then went to bed, where she slept the sleep of the innocent and the righteous, until Parker appeared at her bedside the next morning with a breakfast-tray. "And there's Miss Meldreth in the sitting-room inquiring for you, ma'am. Is she to come in? I wonder how she knew that you were here?" "Oh, I saw her accidentally yesterday afternoon," said Mrs.
Meldreth was seriously ill and would like to see him. The informant added that she brought the Rector word of this, because Mrs. Meldreth's daughter Sabina was now at home, and seemed anxious to keep the clergyman away. The Rector's fighting instincts were at once aroused by this communication.
"You should have said more then. You should have come and told me the whole story. Tell it me now."

"Is that all you have to say," asked the Rector gravely "even in her presence, Sabina Meldreth?" "Yes, that's all," she answered, the old fierceness creeping back into her tones.

Flossy did not interest herself much in the welfare of her poorer neighbors, but to Mrs.
H. Lepel visits her constant, and is said to be going to marry her. She is what gentlemen call good-looking, though too dark for my taste. It does not seem to be generally known that she has a parent living. "Yours respectfully, "SABINA MELDRETH." Mrs. Vane read this letter with considerable surprise.
