Raymond explained the machine with gusto, and Estelle mourned the wheel, yet as one who knew its departure was inevitable. It was summer time, and after John Best had displayed the significance of the turbine and the increased powers generated thereby, Raymond strolled down the valley beside the river at Estelle's invitation.
"Estelle's children will be good works," she told Raymond. For she and her nephew were friends again. The steady tides of time had washed away her prophecy of eternal enmity, and increasing infirmity made her seek companionship where she could find it.
He deliberately refused to proceed with his work, and, when challenged, explained that he would learn no more at his father's expense. Nothing moved him, and Estelle's well-meant but ill-judged action merely served to terminate Abel's education for good and all. The boy was rapidly becoming a curse to his father.
Though his tone scolded Aurora sharply for her lack of faith, Estelle's ear caught a trembling edge to his voice expressive of deep feeling. Estelle had the good sense to see that Gerald must inevitably desire to make more exposition of his allegiance, and the good feeling to know that this could be done better if she were not present.
I don't believe a word of it." "Nor I!" exclaimed Ruth. "Did you speak to her about it?" asked Alice, and then as the sound of sobbing came from Estelle's room she burst out with: "You horrid things! I believe you did! Shame on you!" and she hurried to the closed door. "It is I Alice," she whispered. "Let me in. It's all a terrible mistake. Don't let it affect you so, Estelle dear!"
They tried to hold a conversation with the Reis, between lingua Franca and the Provencal of the renegade; and they came to the conclusion that no one had the least idea where they were, or where they were going; the ship's compass had been broken in the boarding, and there was no chart more available than the little map in the beginning of Estelle's precious copy of Telemaque.

He stopped abruptly; Estelle's eyes had hardened and grown very cold.
"I don't write any, so I don't get any, I suppose," and both girls noticed that there was a far-away look in Estelle's eyes. Perhaps it was a wistful look, for surely all girls like to get letters from some one. "I believe she is estranged from her family," decided Alice to her sister afterward. "Did you see how pathetic she looked when we got letters and she didn't?"
I was rapt in the contemplation of my own ingenuity in having thus brilliantly attained my goal, when a stealthy noise in the next room roused me from my trance and brought up vividly to my mind the awful risks which I was running at this moment. I turned like an animal at bay to see Estelle's beautiful face peeping at me through the half-open door. "Hist!" she whispered.
Beneath, close to the trunk, was a stone, beyond the corner of which appeared a bit of paper. He pounced upon it. It was the title-page of Estelle's precious Telemaque, and on the back was written in French, If any good Christian ever finds this, I pray him to carry it to M. the French Consul at Algiers.
