"But I have engaged to accompany Brinsmead to Norwich," observed Jack; "and I have several commissions of importance to execute there for Mr Strelley. I must not neglect them." "No need for you to do so," answered Pearson. "Go on to Norwich, as you purpose, and I will meet you in a week's time at Saint Faith's.
"I gave the first box to a cash girl who works in my department, and the other I gave to Sam. I didn't even open them." "Why did you not open them?" asked the detective, sharply. Faith glanced at Mr. Denton a moment before replying. "Yes, why did you not open them? Are you not fond of candy, Miss Marvin?" "I like it, yes, sir," was Faith's slow answer; "but the gift was unexpected.
Eglington added, with a smile. "When thee brings the lady, there will be occasion to consider there will be occasion then." Eglington raised his hat, and turned back upon the path he and Faith had travelled. The old man stood watching him until he was out of view. Then he seemed more himself.

"What sought they thus afar? Bright jewels of the mine? The wealth of seas, the spoils of war? They sought for Faith's pure shrine. Ay, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod; They've left unstained what there they found, Freedom to worship God."
