Excerpt from The Garstangs of Garstang Grange, Vol. 2 of 2 Juliette's maid that he wished to see her mistress when he should return to breakfast. Atkins thought that the journey to London had done his master a world of good. The Earl looked quite another man, as he told the butler, in the matter of cheerfulness, and holding of hisself up like, to what he had been before. He started on his journey. He seemed ten, ay twenty years younger, and spoke as if he had some life in him yet. No discovery had as yet been made of the Lady Juliette's absence from the house. For it was a frequent practice with her to employ herself with books or with her pen, till a late hour of the night; and she would, on such occasions, shut herself into her own rooms, 1nd tell her maid that she need not sit up for her. She had thus ensured for herself the probability that her flight would not be discovered for some hours; and the time. Had not yet come when it was the usual practice of her maid to go to her bedside in the morning. That hour came, however, before the Earl returned to breakfast; and when he did so, the servants were in surprised and somewhat uneasy, but not yet seriously alarmed debate among themselves as to the possible explanation of the extraordinary fact of her absence. Jane Barnwell, a cousin of the steward, who had been by him recommended as the Lady Juliette's own maid, went immediately, on discovering that her mistress was not in her room, with a scared face to Mr. Abel Atkins.
