'Heaven forbid! said Markham, hastily. 'I know the same place would not hold him and me long. 'You have told me nothing of our new vicar. How do you get on with him? 'None the better for that same Captain Morville, replied Markham, plunging forthwith into his list of grievances, respecting which he was waging a petty warfare, in the belief that he was standing up for his master's rights. Mr.
'We must make haste, said Amy, recovering herself. 'There are the carriages. While the frock was being fastened, Charlotte looked into the Prayer-book Amy had laid down. There was the name, Amabel Frances Morville, and the date. 'Has he just written it? said Charlotte. 'Yes; when we came home. 'O Amy! dear, dear Amy; I don't know whether I am glad or sorry! 'I believe I am both, said Amy.
"The Princess of Muscovy," M. de Morville had lately said, "is the daughter of a low-born mother, and has been brought up amidst a still barbarous people." Every great alliance appeared impossible; the duke and Madame de Prie were looking out for a queen who would belong to them, and would secure them the king's heart.
Another long hill, and then began a descent into a rich valley, beautiful fields of young wheat, reddish soil, full of fatness, large spreading trees with noble limbs, cottages, and cottage gardens, very unlike poor Coombe Prior; Markham's house a perfect little snuggery covered all over with choice climbing plants, the smart plastered doctor's house, the Morville Arms, looking honest and venerable, the church, with its disproportionately high tower, the parsonage rather hidden behind it; and, on the opposite side of the road, the park-wall and the gate, where old Sarah stood, in an ecstasy of curtsies.

'There is an escape for him, murmured Charles to his sister. 'We have done the best in our power to receive you' proceeded Markham; 'I hope you will find it comfortable, Lady Morville, but
'DEAR PHILIP, I have to announce to you that Lady Morville was safely confined this morning with a daughter. I shall be ready to send all the papers and accounts of the Redclyffe estate to any place you may appoint as soon as she is sufficiently recovered to transact business. Both she and the infant are as well as can be expected. Yours sincerely, 'C. EDMONSTONE. 'A daughter! cried Dr. Henley.
