CHAPTER XIX.
THE RECTORY.
The curate and his wife had a good deal of talk about Juliet as they drove home from Nestley.

Much pleased with herself, they heard from their hostess what she had learned of her history, and were the more interested.

They must find her a situation, they agreed, where she would feel at home; and in the meantime would let her understand that, if she took up her abode in Glaston, and were so inclined, the town was large enough to give a good hope of finding a few daily engagements.
Before they left Nestley, Helen had said to Mrs.Bevis that she would like to ask Miss Meredith to visit them for a few days.
"No one knows much about her," remarked Mrs.Bevis, feeling responsible.
"She can't be poison," returned Helen.

"And if she were, she couldn't hurt us.

That's the good of being husband and wife: so long as you are of one mind, you can do almost any thing." When Faber called upon Juliet in the evening, nothing passed between them concerning the situation at which he had hinted.
