The theft is proved upon the graceless scamp, and he is sent to the house of correction, while Tony is borne in triumph by the club to his home. Near the close of the story, Tony's brother, who has long been mourned as dead, returns home from California, with a large fortune in his possession.
Did you ever see a squirrel turning in a cage? and another squirrel sitting philosophically over his nuts? I needn't ask you which of them looked more of a fool." After some years the old people died, both in one winter, very carefully tended by their adopted son, and very quietly mourned when they were gone.
Her heart, as it gave her back the image of Valancourt, mourned in vain regret, but reason soon came with a consolation which, though feeble at first, acquired vigour from reflection. She considered, that, whatever might be her sufferings, she had withheld from involving him in misfortune, and that, whatever her future sorrows could be, she was, at least, free from self-reproach.
On entering the cave he saw the lifeless body kneeling, with head erect and hands uplifted. He tenderly wrapped the body in the cloak and began to lament that he had no implements to dig a grave. But Providence sent two lions from the recesses of the mountain that came rushing with flying manes. Roaring, as if they too mourned, they pawed the earth and thus the grave was dug.
They could not appear at his bedside except at sudden and stolen interviews, which were quickly terminated by their being required to withdraw; but they hovered near with anxious inquiries, or else mourned in their apartments with bitter grief.

Then she likewise came to the great piece of water, and she said to the old woman, "Good day, mother."
The poor girl was almost heart-broken, for she had learnt to love her stepbrother dearly, and now she would have to be separated from him entirely. It was not for herself, however, that she mourned the most, it was for him, when he should learn of the wide gulf which separated them from each other.
Frank nodded, and Will broke in excitedly: "But the poor old codger's looks would naturally be changed," he argued, "after he had spent all this time wandering around the woods out of his mind at that. I am inclined to think that the girls are right and that it is really Professor Dempsey." "If only I could have gotten my hands on him!" mourned Roy. "We wouldn't have been in any further doubt."
On the following day he left the stage for ever and opened a school for singing, with the title of a professor. Then he went to foreign countries, and remained abroad for many years. Sadness, for he mourned for himself as for a dead friend, and sorrow were fast making an old man of him. But he was glad that it should be so, for, he thought, if I'm old, it won't last much longer.
The Countess proved herself more self-controlled than Richard had anticipated, for the great joy of having seen her true servant, the greater joy of again clasping her daughter in her arms was for this woman the preparation for the greatest of joys the joy of again seeing the husband whom she had mourned as dead.
