'I shall never forget you, Jerrie, he said, 'or cease to hope that you will change your mind, unless and here he started so suddenly that the wet parasol, down which streams of water were still coursing their way to Jerrie's back, dropped from his hand and rolled off upon the bed of fine needles at his feet, just where it had been in the morning when Tom was there instead of himself 'unless there is some one between us, some other man whom you love.
'Shall we go back to the house? he said at last, and they went back, meeting the people upon the piazza, where they stopped for a moment while Jerrie's hands were shaken, and she was kissed and congratulated that at last the mystery was cleared, and her rights restored to her. 'Mr. Arthur Tracy ought to be here, Judge St. Claire said.
The eyes of half his classmates were upon him, and though Harold felt a thrill of keen delight run through his veins at the touch of Jerrie's lips, he would a little rather she had waited until they were alone. 'There, there, Jerrie, that will do! he whispered, as he unclasped her arms, and put her gently from him, though he still held her hand. 'Don't you see they are all looking at us.
All day and all night Jerrie sat by her, sometimes talking to her and answering the questions she wrote upon the slate, but oftener in perfect silence, when Maude seemed to be asleep. Then Jerrie's tears fell like rain, the face upon the pillow looked so much like death, and she kept repeating to herself the lines: 'We thought her dying when she slept. And sleeping when she died.

If it had been possible for a look to have annihilated Tom, the scorn which blazed in Jerrie's eyes would have done so.
They were ascending the staircase now, and Frank was holding Jerrie's hand while she tried to comfort and reassure him, and then thanked him for the fruit and the flowers he had sent to the cottage for her the day before. 'You are so good to me, she said, 'you and Mr. Arthur. How lonely the house seems without him.
'Yes, Dolly, he said, taking her fingers in his hand and holding them fast. 'A great deal better. Jerrie's baby has done me good, and you, too, Dolly. You don't knew how nice it seems to have you smooth my hair; it is like the old days at Langley, when we sang in the choir together, and you were fond of me.
'Maude, she said suddenly, with a strong desire to fold the frail little body in her arms and tell her what she had thought. But when Maude looked up inquiringly at her she only put her head down upon the rose-colored shawl and began to cry. Then, regardless of consequences, Maude raised herself upon her elbow, and laying her face on Jerrie's head began herself to cry piteously.
