"And Marmaduke Haward awaits thee at Williamsburgh?" said the Quakeress. "Last third day he met my father and me on the Fair View road, and checked his horse and spoke to us. He is changed." "Changed indeed!" quoth the Highlander. "A fire burns him, a wind drives him; and yet to the world, last night" He paused. "Last night?" said Truelove.
His face was bowed upon the dark wonder of her hair; when at last he lifted his eyes, they chanced to fall upon the one uncurtained window. Audrey, feeling his slight, quickly controlled start, turned within his arm and also saw the face of Jean Hugon, pressed against the glass, staring in upon them. Before Haward could reach the window the face was gone.
Child, child! where else should you go? What else should you do?" "God knows!" cried the girl, with sudden and extraordinary passion. "But not that! Oh, he is gone, that other who would have understood!" Haward let fall his outstretched hand, drew back a pace or two, and stood with knitted brows.

"I am aware that my daughter has declined to entertain your proposals," said the Colonel coldly, "and I approve her determination. Is this all, sir?" "It should, perhaps, be all," answered Haward.

Haward, hat in hand, entered the room. The three beside the harpsichord arose; the one at the window slipped deeper into the shadow of the curtains, and so escaped the visitor's observation.
She smiled and leaned against her father's arm. "And now let us three, you and Maria, whom I protest you keep too long at the harpsichord, and I, who love this hour of the evening, let us go walk in the garden and see what flowers the frost has spared."

The Highlander, then declaring that he must be no longer away from his post, swept his heap of coins across to swell his opponent's store, and said good-night. Haward went with him to the great door, and watched him stride off through the darkness whistling "The Battle of Harlaw." That night Haward slept, and the next morning four negroes rowed him up the river to Jamestown. Mr.
