"No, not like that," she murmured. "In the old way." There was a long embrace. "I wouldn't do it," she said, "I don't believe I'd have the courage to do it, if it were just me. But there's some one else I've made some one a promise. I can't tell you about that. Now please go back and sit over there where you were, where we can talk quietly. Oh, Roddy, I love you so! No, please go back, old man!
I pray God I may never have a husband, if I cannot be his wife." Patience shuddered in her sister's embrace, as these bold words were spoken with energy. "I tell you, Patty, just as I tell myself, because you love me so dearly." "I do love you; oh, I do love you." "I do not think it can be unmaidenly to tell the truth to you and to myself.

A familiar moccasin-print in the sand on the bank pointed westward. He examined it carefully.

The warm-hearted, innocent girl believed every word, and rushing into her friend's room on their return, threw her arms about her, and hugging her close, told her she knew all, was so, so sorry for her, and for poor Egerton; and begged her not to allow anything to make her give him up and break his heart. Elsie returned the embrace, shed a few tears, but answered not a word.
