I dare say you'll find that she'll never stir out of the place at all, and that not a soul in Nuncombe will ever see her except the gardener. It is such a thing for a woman to be separated from her husband! Don't you think so, Mr. Gibson?"

She had written to the man before, and had received him when he came to Nuncombe Putney. Why was it even improbable that she should have written to him again? Nevertheless, Stanbury felt sure that she had sent no such letter. "I think I understand her feelings and her mind," said he; "and if so, any such correspondence would be incompatible with her previous conduct."

Bozzle was ultimately inclined to think that the Colonel had really spent his day in going to Cockchaffington. Mr. Bozzle himself, knowing the wiles of such men as Colonel Osborne, and thinking at first that that journey to Cockchaffington might only be a deep ruse, had walked over to Nuncombe Putney. There he had had a pint of beer and some bread and cheese at Mrs.

He knows the way from Nuncombe to London without stopping at Exeter." "Aunt Stanbury, you must let me tell it you all." "There is no more to tell, I should think." "But there is more. You knew what he thought about me, and what he wished." "He is his own master, my dear; and you are your own mistress." "If you speak to me like that you will kill me, Aunt Stanbury.

Because, because, because . Oh, Hugh, how cross you were to me afterwards when you came down to Nuncombe and would hardly speak to me!" "And why didn't I speak to you?" "I don't know. Because you were cross, and surly, and thinking of nothing but your tobacco, I believe. Do you remember how we walked to Niddon, and you hadn't a word for anybody?"

If you can accept this gentleman I think you would be happy; and I think, also, which should be of more importance for your consideration, that you would make him happy. It is a brighter prospect, dear Dolly, than to live either with us at Nuncombe, or even with Aunt Stanbury as her niece." "But if I don't love him, Priscilla?" "Then give it up, and be as you are, my own own, dearest sister."

Dorothy ought to have buried herself rather than have allowed Brooke to see her at Nuncombe Putney; and Dorothy's mother and Priscilla must be worse. She trudged on, however, with her lamb, and soon found herself in the presence of the three ladies. "What, Martha!" said Dorothy. "Yes, miss, here I am. I'd have been here half-an-hour ago amost, if I hadn't been stopped on the road."

Crocket as to a cottage, and was careful to let it be known throughout Nuncombe Putney that the Clock House was to be abandoned. The Clock House had been taken furnished for six months, of which half were not yet over; but there were other expenses of living there much greater than the rent, and go she would. Her mother sighed and assented; and Mrs.

"I don't want to say anything about him, only you ought not to abuse him before me." By this time Dorothy was beginning to sob, but Miss Stanbury's countenance was still very grim and very stern. "He's coming home to Nuncombe Putney, and I want to see see him," continued Dorothy. "Hugh Stanbury coming to Exeter! He won't come here." "Then I'd rather go home, Aunt Stanbury."

The one-legged man who rode his donkey into Nuncombe Putney would reach his post-office not above half an hour after his proper time; but he was very slow in stumping round the village, and seldom reached the Clock House much before ten.
