Newsham; then we have a lectern, of the eagle pattern, presented by the Rev. R. Brown; and to the left of this there is a most excellently finished, carved- oak, reading desk, given by R. Newsham, Esq. The communion plate most choice and elaborate in design was, we may observe, given by the same gentleman. Turning round, we notice a pretty four-light window in the western gable.
Miss Dulane wore her own undisguised gray hair, dressed in perfect harmony with her time of life. Without an attempt at concealment, she submitted to be too short and too stout. Mrs. Newsham, tall and elegant, painted and dyed, acted on the opposite principle in dressing, which confesses nothing.
I was perfectly willing to offer her a very handsome allowance, knowing that, as Sir Barnard's charge, she had some claim on me. I might have spared myself all the trouble of thinking and deciding. One morning Mrs. Newsham, a pretty young matron, very popular in our neighborhood, paid us a visit. Coralie, as usual, received her, and did the honors of the house.
ONE afternoon old Miss Dulane entered her drawing-room; ready to receive visitors, dressed in splendor, and exhibiting every outward appearance of a defiant frame of mind. Just as a saucy bronze nymph on the mantelpiece struck the quarter to three on an elegant clock under her arm, a visitor was announced "Mrs. Newsham."
But I saw Coralie d'Aubergne shake her head, while she replied, calmly: "No, Mrs. Newsham, I shall never leave Crown Anstey." I cannot tell how the words impressed me. I found myself repeating them over and over again "I shall never leave Crown Anstey." Yet she must have known that when my young wife came home, Crown Anstey would be no place for her.
