"I could trust you with my life, Monsieur Rossignol," she replied. "And I love you in a way that a man may be loved to no one's harm or sorrow: it is true that!" She raised her eyes to his simply, trustingly. He looked at her steadily for a moment. "If you change your mind " She shook her head sadly.
'Are you getting suspicious of me, Edith? That's not like you. Mind you, it's a great mistake in a woman; women should always trust. Mistrust sometimes drives a man to to Oh, anyhow, it's a great mistake. 'I only want you to tell me something, Bruce. I'll believe you implicitly if you'll answer.... Do you ever see Miss Townsend now? 'Never, on my honour!
I have been able now to trust him in God's hands, who doeth all things well." From that visit Mrs. Gower returned to her home comforted and strengthened. Alone she might be, yet, like her Saviour, "not alone, for the Father was with her."
I trust no man, henceforth; only the Church I will trust. Keep it for me, Father, I pray you," and the Father could not refuse his imploring tone. "What are your plans now?" he asked. "Plans!" repeated Alessandro, "plans, Father! Why should I make plans? I will stay in my house so long as the Americans will let me. You saw our little house, Father!"

"There was nothing he disliked so much as a Catholic. He always said you were the only Catholic he ever saw that he could trust." Father Antoine's rosy face turned rosier. He was not used among his docile Canadians to any such speech as this. The unvarnished fashions of New England honesty grated on his ear. "It is not well for men of one religion to rail at the men of another," he said gravely.

The news that Hazlewood was recovering, and that the person who bad shot him was nowhere to be traced, only that for certain he was one of the leaders of the gang of smugglers, gave me some comfort.
