For weeks after then, we went on in our usual way; Ursula March living within a stone's throw of us.

She had left her cousin's, and come to reside with Dr.

Jessop and his wife.
It was a very hard trial for John.
Neither of us were again invited by Mrs.Jessop.

We could not blame her; she held a precious charge, and Norton Bury was a horrible place for gossip.

Already tale after tale had gone abroad about Miss March's "ingratitude" to her relations.
