made Elizabeth wonder whether she
might not spare her agents fees for the

pie Iron and Machine works, the result
of which was the following letter to
Mrs. Gaskill:

gradually grew more and more imbued
with the tendercst interest and respect.

own free will. and p~urposely going to
the works saw her self banished lord
welding a ponderous hammer upon n

love founded upon u genuine respect.
Steve deserved it. lie wrought faith

by his wifc's letters and visits. and when
he came out Of the Dalrymple works
there was no more finished iron master
than he. He held lis head frankly no

face: he could earn his own living any
where. and. better than all. he had
conquered his wifc-won her esteem
and compelled her to acknowledge a
physical strength and n moral purpose
greater than her own.
