The house shall be hers, as her residence, for the next six months. As for money " "I have got what will do for that, I think." "If she wants money she shall have what she wants. There is nothing I will not do for you in your trouble, except that you may not both be here together till I shall have shaken hands with her as Mrs. Peacocke in very truth." It was settled that Mr.
"I have heard from Lord Bracy, and you, I suppose, have had a letter too," said the Doctor. His manner was easy and kind, as though no disagreeable communication was due to be made on the following day. "Yes," said Mr. Peacocke. "I have had a letter." "Well?" "His lordship has asked me to go to Carstairs for the holidays; but it is out of the question."
He heard no more of the metropolitan press, and was surprised to find that the 'Broughton Gazette' inserted only a very short paragraph, in which it stated that "they had been given to understand that Mr. and Mrs. Peacocke had resumed their usual duties at the Bowick School, after the performance of an interesting ceremony in London, at which Dr. Wortle and Mr. Puddicombe had assisted."
I shall come to you to-morrow, Doctor, as I said I would last Saturday. What hour will suit you?" Then the Doctor named an hour in the afternoon, and knew that the revelation was to be made to him. He felt, too, that that revelation would lead to the final departure of Mr. and Mrs. Peacocke from Bowick, and he was unhappy in his heart.
Peacocke had sent home to his wife, and had added his firm belief that he should find the man's grave in the cemetery, and be able to bring home with him testimony to which no authority in England, whether social, episcopal, or judicial, would refuse to give credit. "Of course he will be married again," said Mrs. Wortle to her husband. "They shall be married here, and I will perform the ceremony.
Peacocke told the story, beginning with all those incidents of the woman's life which had seemed to be so cruel both to him and to others at St. Louis before he had been in any degree intimate with her. Then came the departure of the two men, and the necessity for pecuniary assistance, which Mr.

Mrs. Peacocke's position was easily settled. Mrs. Peacocke, who seemed to be a woman possessed of sterling sense and great activity, undertook her duties without difficulty. But Mr.
He felt that if it came to this with him he must in very truth turn his face to the wall and die. Would it, would it really come to that, that Mrs. Stantiloup should have altogether conquered him in the combat that had sprung up between them? But yet he would not give up Mrs. Peacocke. Indeed, circumstanced as he was, he could not give her up.
Peacocke," he went on to say, "has since been to America, and has found that the man whom he believed to be dead when he married his wife, has died since his calamitous reappearance. Mr. Peacocke has seen the man's grave, with the stone on it bearing his name, and has brought back with him certificates and evidence as to his burial.
"I must go up to town to-morrow, and must be away for two days," said the Doctor out loud in the school, speaking immediately to one of the ushers, but so that all the boys present might hear him.
