Could intensity of love justify what might be considered in upright souls as culpable reticence? She knew not what was expected of women in such cases; and she had no counsellor.

Anne rose to her full height, and a blush, vivid as a girl's, dyed her cheek. "I have," she said "I have loved it, and I am not ashamed." The blush paled she sank back on the window-sill. Major Harper was alarmed. "Anne how ill you look! What have I done to you?" "Nothing," she answered; and, catching his arm, drew herself upright once more.
There stood the little maid, stiff and upright as a doll, her arms stretched painfully straight out away from the dress, and her fingers apart; and oh, what happiness beamed from her eyes, and from her whole countenance!

"Indeed, sir," said Harry, "this is all a dreadful misconception; and if you will go with me to Sir Thomas Vandeleur's in Eaton Place, I can promise that all will be made plain. The most upright person, as I now perceive, can be led into suspicious positions." "My little man," replied the gardener, "I will go with you no farther than the station-house in the next street.
