Jane cried, how glad I am to see you." I had been here an hour ago, but I had to wait on the Lady Mary Cromwell.

Neville left soon after the Lord General, and the girls had a game of battledore and shuttlecock in the long gallery; then sewing, reading aloud, the evening meal and the evening exercise closed the aay. (The days that followed were little different On the whole, Jane was not very sorry when her visit was over and she was free to return home. In spite o4he frankest kindness, she felt out of her element The Cromwells had outgrown their old friends, and not all their familiarities could dispel the atmosphere of superiority which surrounded them; it was unavoidable and unequivocal, though they were not themselves conscious of it Then there came to Janes mind in very sweet fashion the memory of Matilda de Wick.
