Even your coming has done so, knowing, as she does, that you have come, not to see us, but to make inquiries about Mrs.Trevelyan.She is so annoyed by it, that she does not sleep." "Do you wish her to be taken away at once ?" asked Hugh, almost in an angry tone.
"Certainly not.

That would be impossible.

We have agreed to take her, and must bear with it.

And I would not have her moved from this, if I thought that if she stayed awhile it might be arranged that she might return from us direct to her husband." "I shall try that, of course;--now." "But if he will not have her;--if he be so obstinate, so foolish, and so wicked, do not leave her here longer than you can help." Then Hugh explained that Sir Marmaduke and Lady Rowley were to be in England in the spring, and that it would be very desirable that the poor woman should not be sent abroad to look for a home before that.

"If it must be so, it must," said Priscilla.
