" " What and why, indeed," says Mr. Esmond. " No one knows," Beatrix went on, without noticing this ir>- terruption o^pept by a look, " what my mother's life is. She hath been at early prayer this morning : she passes hours in her closet ; if you were to follow her thither, you would find her at prayers now. She tends the poor of the place, — the horrid dirty poor ! She sits through the curate's sermons, — O those dreary sermons ! And you see, on a beau dire ; but good as they are, people like ...her are not fit to commune with us of the world. There is always, as it were, a third person present, even when I and my mother are alone. She can't be frank with me quite ; who is always thinking of the next world, and of her guardian angel, perhaps that's in company. O Harry, I'm jealous of that guardian angel ! " here broke out Mistress Beatrix. " It's horrid, I know ; but my mother's life is all for heaven, and mine — all for earth. We can never be friends quite ; and then, she cares more for Frank's little finger than she does for me, — I know she does ; and she loves you, sir, a great deal too much ; and I hate you for it.
