Every morning did she gaze pathetically into my face, saying: "I do hope Axworthy will propose to-day!" and once she added: "I cannot face another winter in the same house with that girl and your mother.

But, receiving no answer, he went on. "You always sulk when I speak to you. I suppose you think I have no right to row you, but I do it to save you from worse. You can't never be found out."
