However, you wish to hear of my disgrace at court. Allans donc. But had we not better wait for a halt?" "Agreed," said I; "and so let us now press forward."
She would not know! She must not! And so it was that the last of the Allans redeemed the debt and silently found peace for her proud heart. She was released! She had proven herself, though no one must ever know. It was the not knowing that would mark her highest success. On the morrow Mary went to Ridge House quite her usual reserved self. Nancy met her with the brightest of smiles.
There was little relation between that first and this present parting with the Allans, yet in his mind they became inseparably connected. He recalled his happiness in his first essays at composition, made at the Manor School, and told himself that, though he did not know it at the time, that was the first step toward his life work.
