turned my eyes. and there she was, the
blessing of my whole life, though l felt
that l must not take it. Close to me
she came and knelt, and leaned her
cheek against mine, and stroked back
my wild hair.

all her dear face was tremulous with
love and joy.

Mary was shrieking that she would not

Then Catherine Cavendish did some
thing which | did not understand at
the time and perhaps never understood

her soft hair fell over my face and
hers, hiding them, and she kissed me
on my forehead. and she said low, but
quite cleayss. Whatever thou hast
done in the past, my seorn henceforth

Then to her feet she sprang and
