The tide was again rising, and was coming in with great rapidity. The old mill shook to the foundation as I passed through it to reach the lower part where they lived. When I peeped in from the bottom of the stair, I saw no one; but, hearing the steps of someone overhead, I called out.

Happily he had no control over Agnes's fortune, or I believe she would never have had a penny of it; but I think he might have trusted me there, for I have nursed it yes and doubled it," he mumbled, as though forgetting he was speaking to anyone but the carpet. "Well, let me see where was I?" "But my mother, sir?" interrupted Cardo; "tell me something about her was she pretty?"
But she could not make out a particle of meaning. It was Agnes's fault it was all her fault.

I sought an occasion to break the secret to my father, and his reception of it filled me with terror. 'Marry Agnes! he replied. 'You have no right to her. Your mother left her to me. I may marry her myself.
The nobleman had received sufficient proof of Agnes's love and courage. He realized, at last, the superiority of worth to birth. He gave his name, as he had already given his heart, to her, and their married life was happy.
