During the day, Mrs.Marion went out again for an hour or two, and when she came back she announced that she would leave on the next day.

She looked even sadder than before.

Some inquiries as to where she was going were made, but she evaded them.

On the day following, a carriage came for her, and she parted with her kind friends, uttering the warmest expressions of gratitude.
"I have turned her from the house!" said Mrs.Darlington, in a tone of deep regret, as she closed the door upon the poor creature.

"How would I like my own child treated thus ?" For the rest of the day she was so unhappy, owing to this circumstance, that she could scarcely attend to any thing.
"Do you know where Mrs.Marion went when she left our house ?" said Edith to her mother, about two weeks afterwards.
