СКАЧАТЬ a nuisance for him—and for you."

      "Why should it be a nuisance for me? Cannot a woman understand her duties as well as a man?"

      "Quite so, if she knows how to get a glimpse at them."

      "I do," said Lady Amaldina, earnestly. "I am always getting glimpses at them. I am quite aware of the functions which it will become me to perform when I am Llwddythlw's wife."

      "Mother of his children?"

      "I didn't mean that at all, Hampstead. That's all in the hands of the Almighty. But in becoming the future Duchess of Merioneth—"

      "That's in the hands of the Almighty, too, isn't it?"

      "No; yes. Of course everything is in God's hands."

      "I shall do nothing of the kind."

      "Then he'll dine at the Club, or at the House of Commons. That's my idea of married life."

      "Nothing beyond that? No community of soul?"

      "Certainly not."

      "No!"

      "Because you believe in the Trinity, Llwddythlw won't go to heaven. If he were to take to gambling and drinking you wouldn't go to the other place."

      "How can you be so horrid."

      "That would be a community of souls—as souls are understood. A community of interests I hope you will have, and, in order that you may, take care and look after his dinner." She could not make much more of her cousin in the way of confidence, but she did exact a promise from him, that he would be in attendance at her wedding.

      A few days afterwards he returned to Hendon Park, leaving his sister to remain for a fortnight longer at Castle Hautboy.
