Hale would have had practical knowledge enough to see, that in so short a time it would be difficult to fix on any house in Milton-Northern, or indeed elsewhere, to which they could remove the furniture that had of necessity to be taken out of Helstone vicarage. Mrs.
But the future must be met, however stern and iron it be. One evening it was arranged that Margaret and her father should go the next day to Milton-Northern, and look out for a house. Mr. Hale had received several letters from Mr. Bell, and one or two from Mr.
Bell Frederick's godfather, you know, mamma; and it is arranged that we go to live in Milton-Northern. Mrs. Hale looked up in Margaret's face all the time she was speaking these words: the shadow on her countenance told that she, at least, believed in the truth of what she said. 'I don't think it can be true, said Mrs. Hale, at length. 'He would surely have told me before it came to this.
The next afternoon, about twenty miles from Milton-Northern, they entered on the little branch railway that led to Heston. Heston itself was one long straggling street, running parallel to the seashore. It had a character of its own, as different from the little bathing-places in the south of England as they again from those of the continent.

Why can't he go to Oxford, and be a tutor to gentlemen? 'You forget, mamma!
'I almost hoped you might have been glad to leave Helstone, mamma, said she, after a pause. 'You have never been well in this air, you know. 'You can't think the smoky air of a manufacturing town, all chimneys and dirt like Milton-Northern, would be better than this air, which is pure and sweet, if it is too soft and relaxing. Fancy living in the middle of factories, and factory people!
'To Milton-Northern, he answered, with a dull indifference, for he had perceived that, although his daughter's love had made her cling to him, and for a moment strive to soothe him with her love, yet the keenness of the pain was as fresh as ever in her mind. 'Milton-Northern! The manufacturing town in Darkshire? 'Yes, said he, in the same despondent, indifferent way.
'He's going to leave the Church, and live in Milton-Northern. There were the three hard facts hardly spoken. 'What makes you say so? asked Mrs. Hale, in a surprised incredulous voice.
