To-day I shall have a long and serious discourse with my daughter Mary. Will you come to me to-morrow at the hotel, and we will confer further how to act.” “Yes, I will visit you some time in the course of to- morrow,’ replied Lilian. ‘‘ Till then adieu, my dear sister.” ‘ Adieu,”’ said Mrs. Owen, and ere they parted they kissed each other. Mrs. Owen then continued her way toward the cottage, in pursuance of the directions which she had received in answer to the inquiries made at the hotel. (C(O) nn) GDoOo CSS (CO)
