After long struggling, she brought you within a few yards of the shore; a wave overwhelmed you both and cast you upon the beach, with her arm the arm of your wife that saved you upon your bosom!" "Gracious Heaven!" exclaimed the fisherman, pressing his wife to his bosom "my ain Agnes! was it you? was it you? my wife! my saviour!" And he wept aloud, and his children wept also.
Each State has its Legislative Council and a number of these have given the vote to women. The movement is active for it throughout India. III, page 832. On Dec. 6, 1921, Miss Agnes McPhail was elected to the House of Commons for Southeast Grey. This Act was heralded far and wide, as it was unprecedented.
On the spot I resolved to have a private interview with Agnes Anne as soon as might be, and, after reminding her of my birthday just past, tell her that in future I was to be referred to as "going on for twenty" and that there was no real need to insert the words "going on for."
But after much struggling they got across and spurred their mounts up the bank. "There is a trail that leads north," Agnes said; "let's find it. Loose the horses, and let me ride ahead." "What a wonderful girl she is!" Matthew exclaimed; "she is a veritable leader." Soon the boys heard the hooting of an owl, and they whipped their horses into a trot. Agnes had found the trail.
Agnes was looked down on, her father thought she would do him little honour, her brother cared not for her; save for her step-mother she would have met with little fostering attention, and when Eustace saw her set aside and disregarded, his heart had bounded with the thought that when he should lay his trophies at her feet, Agnes would be honoured for his sake.
I am your brother's wretched wife!" The two women stood in the bleak twilight looking at each other Agnes with piteous, imploring eyes, Kate dazed and hopelessly bewildered. "My brother's wife!" she repeated. "You! Agnes Darling!" "Oh, dear Miss Danton, have pity on me! Let me see him. Let me tell him I am innocent, and that I love him with my whole heart. Don't cast me off! Don't despise me!
Gratitude for the fancied service he had done to his late father compelled him to give Richard his company; but it was not accorded willingly, as heretofore. He could not but set down to the account of his companionship the present frigidity of Agnes, and at first he had even seen him a material obstacle to his hopes.
In the silence a footstep sounded without, and then a form appeared in the doorway. It was Glenn. "I followed you," he said to me; "and !" He saw the woman, and a low cry broke from her. "Agnes! Agnes!" he cried, with something of sternness and a little shame. "I have come to you again-Robert," she brokenly, but not abjectly, said.
"My dear, why have you done so?" was the first expostulation; "why did you not send for old Agnes to do your washing, as I told you." "I felt so well, I thought I was quite able," was the reply; "and you know it will take all the money we have now in hand to get the children's shoes before cold weather comes, and nobody knows when we shall have any more."
A generous steed had been sacrificed to bring the good news from Ghent to Aix, but no such extravagance was after all necessary for communicating with Lady Agnes. She had remained at the house, not going to the Wheatsheaf, the Liberal inn, with the others; preferring to await in privacy and indeed in solitude the momentous result of the poll.
