Immediately after morning church Lord Fawn declared his intention of returning at once from Fawn Court to town.

He was very silent at breakfast, and his sisters surmised that he was still angry with poor Lucy.

Lucy, too, was unlike herself,--was silent, sad, and oppressed.

Lady Fawn was serious, and almost solemn;--so that there was little even of holy mirth at Fawn Court on that Sunday morning.

The whole family, however, went to church, and immediately on their return Lord Fawn expressed his intention of returning to town.
