Well! there was a message come to fetch the lady to the death-bed of her mother, and she only waited at Dinas long enough to see you both christened together, Valmai and Gwladys. The next day she went away, and took your little sister with her. Oh! there's crying your mother was at losing one of her little ones; but your father persuaded her it was for the best."
It was one of those tender evenings that visit us sometimes at the beginning of the year to remind us that spring is not far distant, and to make us forget that the cold March winds are yet in store for us. Gwladys drew the red hood over her head and walked briskly in the direction of the lake, which lay buried in the fir wood behind the house.
"She is coming here the week after next, and then you can speak to her about this interesting subject," said Gwladys. And Ellis thought he saw a look of displeasure on the lovely face. Certainly he had never seen that in Valmai; but then, on the contrary, there was a high-souled nobility of purpose in his present companion's looks which was absent in Valmai.
Oh, I see it all. He sought me out and found Gwladys, and the strong, strange likeness between us deceived him, though I cannot think how that was possible. Did he not feel the difference? Let me see what does she say?" And again she read Gwladys's repentant, beseeching words. "Can you ever forgive me, darling?
"Now speak," said Gwladys, taking her sister's hand, and holding it on her own fast-beating heart; "now tell me, here as we kneel together before the All-seeing God and His holy angels, do you know of any reason why we two, when we have dropped these bodies, should not stand in equal purity before the Throne of God?" "Before God there is none!
Besborough Power, Carne I will try Carne anyway," and next day she wrote to her sister addressing the letter: Miss Gwladys Powell, c/o Mrs. Besborough Power, Carne, Montgomeryshire. In a few days her letter was returned. "Not known," said Valmai; "then we have not read the address aright. I will go myself, Nance. I will go next week."
"But I must go, Gwladys; I want to find some home where I can make myself useful, and where I can fill my mind and hands with work until until " "Until when, dear?" said Gwladys. Valmai rose with a troubled face and tearful eyes, and, stretching out her hands, she gazed over them into the far distance, with a dreamy look which gradually changed into a brightening smile.
"Look into my eyes, Valmai," said Gwladys, kneeling once more before her sister. And Valmai looked full into the blue orbs, the counterpart of her own, with fearless, open gaze.
Come and sit on this bench. Five minutes will explain all to you, and I will not believe that my Valmai can have become the cold and heartless girl you seem to be." But Gwladys continued standing, and looking at him with eyes in which scorn and contempt were but too plainly visible.
Of course, Gwladys, my heart is full of the frailties and sin belonging to our human nature; but I understand what you mean; and again I say, there is none!" "I will believe you, darling," said her sister, throwing her arms around her, "I will believe you, dearest; I will take you into my warm heart, and I will cling to you for ever!"
