But he did not wish to make two journeys to London, nor did he desire to be away for a full week out of his holidays.

Lady Clavering could not press him to go at once, and, therefore, it was settled as he proposed.

She would write to Paris immediately, and he would go up to London after three or four days.

"If we only knew of any apartment, we could write," said Lady Clavering.
"You could not know that they were comfortable," said Harry; "and you will find that I will do it in plenty of time." Then he took his leave; but Lady Clavering had still one other word to say to him.

"You had better not say anything about all this at the rectory, had you ?" Harry, without considering much about it, said that he would not mention it.
Then he went away and walked again about the park, thinking of it all.
He had not seen her since he had walked round the park, in his misery, after parting with her in the garden.
