"Well, here we are across the Rubicon," she said at last. He nodded. "Are you sorry?" "No, not in the least. I'm more astonished than anything else at the ridiculous simplicity of my emancipation.
Companionship in a lonely spot like Eastboro Twin-Lights is a test of a man's temper. Brown stood the test well. If he made mistakes in the work and he did make some ridiculous ones he cheerfully undid them when they were pointed out to him.
You are young, and cannot know as much as we do. We earnestly beg of you, therefore; not to make a martyr of yourself in a silly and ridiculous cause. Mrs. Naylor, will you now say what you think to Ruth Craven?" "I think, dear child," said Mrs. Naylor, speaking in a tremulous voice, which could scarcely be heard half-way down the room, "that it would be best for you not to conceal the truth."
