She thought that Alaric's love was a passion that had but lately come to the birth, and that had he been true to his friend nobly true as Gertrude had described him it would never have been born at all, or at any rate not till Harry had had a more prolonged chance of being successful with his suit. Mrs.
He had confided his love to Alaric, and Alaric had robbed him of his love, and wounded both his pride and his shame. Norman lacked the charity which should have been capable of forgiving even this.
