MR. SAUNDERS, in the mean time, had not been unmindful of his nieces' interests, and having heard of a respectable business about to be disposed of, he secured the premises and the good-will of the resigning person, and then went to inform them of their future prospects.
To his regret and surprise he was informed that Ellen had been taken seriously ill, and had been removed by Jane's desire. Following Miss Baylis's directions, he soon found himself at the neat little cottage of a respectable widow, whose manners indicated the far superior station of her former days. Here he was received with respect and pleasure by Jane, who explained her reasons for the removal to his entire satisfaction.
