We saw her at the cathedral, where she kept aloof from our party. Milliken went up the tower, and so did Miss Fanny. I am too old a traveller to mount up those immeasurable stairs, for the purpose of making myself dizzy by gazing upon a vast map of low countries stretched beneath me, and waited with Mrs. Milliken and her mother below. When the tower-climbers descended, we asked Miss Fanny and her brother what they had seen. "We saw Captain Hicks up there," remarked Milliken. "And I am very glad... you didn't come, Lavinia my love. The excitement would have been too much for you, quite too much." All this while Lady Kicklebury was looking at Fanny, and Fanny was holding her eyes down ; and I knew that between her and this poor Hicks there could be nothing serious, for she had laughed at him and mimicked him to me half-a-dozen times in the course of the day. We " do the Rubens's," as Lady Kicklebury says ; we trudge from cathedral to picture-gallery, from church to church. We see the calm old city, with its towers and gables, the bourse, and the vast town-hall; and I have the honour to give Lady Kicklebury my arm during these peregrinations, and to hear a hundred parti- culars regarding her ladyship's life and family.
