CHAPTER XV.
COMING HOME.
Miss Carlyle, having resolved upon her course, quitted her own house, and removed to East Lynne with Peter and her handmaidens.

In spite of Mr.Dill's grieved remonstrances, she discharged the servants whom Mr.
Carlyle had engaged, all save one man.
On a Friday night, about a month after the wedding, Mr.Carlyle and his wife came home.

They were expected, and Miss Carlyle went through the hall to receive them, and stood on the upper steps, between the pillars of the portico.

An elegant chariot with four post-horses was drawing up.
Miss Carlyle compressed her lips as she scanned it.

She was attired in a handsome dark silk dress and a new cap; her anger had had time to cool down in the last month, and her strong common sense told her that the wiser plan would be to make the best of it.
