Presently Francesca had drawn it from her, a little story of her own sorrows and troubles. "The reason I have come to you, Miss Ercildoune, when you are so nearly a stranger, is because you have always been so kind and pleasant to me when I waited on you at the store, and I thought you'd anyway listen to what I have to say." "Speak on, Sallie."
Of her it is needless for me to speak. As you know, she is irreproachable, and her position is of the best. Consequently when Clara wrote me that her friend was to come to New York to her aunt, and begged to entertain her for a while, I added my request to her entreaty, and Miss Ercildoune came. Ill-fated visit! would it had never been made! "It is useless now to deny her gifts and graces.
When they were seated in the cars, Sallie looked at her bit of paper, and read on its outer covering, "A wedding-gift to Sallie Howard from my dear daughter Francesca," and found within the deed of a beautiful little home. God bless her! say we, with Mr. Ercildoune. God bless them both, and may they live long to enjoy it!
'I marvel much, good Walter, said Guy Muschamp to his brother-in-arms, 'I marvel much where we are destined to dine this day next year.

It was with delight that he found himself on the same transport with Ercildoune, and discovered in him the brother of the young girl for whom, in the past, he had had so pleasing and deep a regard, and whose present and future were so full of interest for him, in their new and nearer relations.
Robert isn't well enough to be about yet, but he sits up for a while every day, and is getting on the doctor says nicely. They both talk about you often; and Mr. Ercildoune, I can see, thinks everything of you for that good, kind deed of yours, when you and Mr. Robert were on the transport together.
And so, down the magnificent avenue, through the countless, shouting multitude, through the whirlwind of enthusiasm and adoration, under the glorious sweep of flags, the grand regiment moved from the beginning of its march to its close, till it was swept away towards the capital, around which were soon to roll such bloody waves of death. Meanwhile, where was Miss Ercildoune?
The faeries in whom he believes have given him many subjects, notably Thomas of Ercildoune sitting motionless in the twilight while a young and beautiful creature leans softly out of the shadow and whispers in his ear.
So she was, and so she stayed. Frankie got quite well once more, and Sallie began to think of going, but Mr. Ercildoune evidently clung to her and to the sunshine which the bright little fellow cast through the house. Sallie was quite right in her supposition.
"Well, you'll have a fair chance, for she's coming home with me. I wrote to mamma, and she says, bring her by all means, and Mr. Ercildoune gives his consent; so it is all settled." "Mr. Ercildoune! is there no Mrs. "None, her mother died long ago; and her father has not been here, so I can't tell you anything about him.
