We stopped at last close by an old church, standing on the outskirts of a pretty village.
I remember hearing that the bullet entered his head and killed him on the spot. My story is done. It is ten years now since Rosamond was buried in the churchyard yonder; and it is ten years also since Miss Welwyn returned to be the lonely inhabitant of Glenwith Grange. She now lives but in the remembrances that it calls up before her of her happier existence of former days.
