"My dear," said her father, voicing the hospitality of the Carvels, "I am surprised at you. One should never show one's feelings toward a guest. As mistress of this house it was your duty to press him to stay." "He did not want to stay." "Do you know why he went, my dear," asked the Colonel. "No," said Virginia.

Had I been alone with him I should have cast myself at his feet, for it hurt me sorely to see him so. As it was, I held my head high. "The Carvels ever did what they believed right, sir," I answered. "You would not have me to go against my conscience?" To this he replied nothing. "The evil has been done, as I feared, father," said Grafton, presently; "we must now seek for the remedy."
