"But while I was becoming a different man, when I thought of her and I was always thinking of her I still pictured her to myself as the same Jessie Wiles; and though, when I did see her again at Graveleigh, after she had married the day " "You saved her from the insolence of the Squire." "She was but very recently married. I did not realize her as married.

It unsettled me sadly when I did again see her sweet face at Graveleigh, and she was still afraid of me too! that was a sharp pang." "She ought to know what you have done for her, and will." "On no account, sir; promise me that. I should feel mean if I humbled them, that way." "I understand, though I will not as yet make you any positive promise.

"What excuse for spite against so harmless a young couple could Captain Stavers find or invent?" Cecilia looked down and coloured. "It was a revengeful feeling against Jessie." "Ah, I comprehend." "But they have now left the village, and are happily settled elsewhere. Will has recovered his health, and they are prospering much more than they could ever have done at Graveleigh."

Now, my dear friends, I know that you all three suspect me of being the agent whom God chose for His benefits. You fancy that it was from me came the loan which enabled you to leave Graveleigh and settle here. You are mistaken, you look incredulous." "It could not be the Squire," exclaimed Jessie. "Miss Travers assured me that it was neither he nor herself. Oh, it must be you, sir.

Brute that I am, never to have thought of the duties I owed to the couple I had brought together. But pray go on." "You are aware that just before you left us my father received a proposal to exchange his property at Graveleigh for some lands more desirable to him?" "I remember. He closed with that offer."

Let us go back to England to-morrow." Tom's honest face brightened vividly. "How selfish and egotistical I have been!" continued Kenelm; "I ought to have thought more of you, your career, your marriage, pardon me " "Pardon you, pardon! Don't I owe to you all, owe to you Emily herself? If you had never come to Graveleigh, never said, 'Be my friend, what should I have been now? what what?"

"I took it for granted that they were as happy as could be expected. Pray assure me that they are." "I trust so now; but they have had trouble, and have left Graveleigh." "Trouble! left Graveleigh! You make me uneasy. Pray explain." "They had not been three months married and installed in the home they owed to you, when poor Will was seized with a rheumatic fever.

I should have remained at Graveleigh, with no ambition of being more than a common farrier, an ignorant, noisy, quarrelsome man; and if I could not have made Jessie as fond of me as I wished, I should not have broken myself of drinking, and I shudder to think what a brute I might have been, when I see in the newspapers an account of some drunken wife-beater.

You see, I sold my little place at Graveleigh to the new Squire, and when Mother removed to Luscombe to be near me, she told me how poor Jessie had been annoyed by Captain Stavers, who seems to think his purchase included the young women on the property along with the standing timber; and I was half afraid that she had given some cause for his persecution, for you know she has a blink of those soft eyes of hers that might charm a wise man out of his skin and put a fool there instead."
