"What a hurry it is in, to get down where it is wanted," said Desire. She had seated herself beside the curling edge of the swift stream, where it seemed to trace and keep by its own will its boundary upon the nearly level rock, and was gazing up where the white radiance poured itself as if direct from out the blue above. Mr. Kirkbright stood behind her.
The right and the wrong are the reins with which we are guided into the very best, sooner or later; yes, sooner and later. If we will go God's way, we shall have manifold more in this present world, and in the world to come life everlasting. Mr. and Mrs. Kirkbright went away to New York on the afternoon of their marriage. Miss Euphrasia went up to Brickfields.
Christopher Kirkbright and Desire Ledwith were married in the library, where they had betrothed themselves; where Desire had felt all the sacredness of her life laid upon her; where she took up now another trust, that was only an outgrowth and expansion of the first, and for which she laid down nothing of its spirit and intent.

Dakie Thayne had honestly expressed his conviction to Miss Kirkbright and Desire Ledwith, that the Donnowhair business was an irresponsible, loose speculation. He said that he had heard of this Farron Saftleigh and his schemes; that he might frighten him into some sort of small restitution, and that he would look into the title of the lands for Mrs.
"She would have gone through life blindfolded by purple and fine linen, if things had been left as they were with her." Desire and Sylvie walked on together. "Leave them alone," said Miss Kirkbright to her brother. And she stopped, and began to gather handfuls of the late ferns. Now she had the chance given her, Desire said it straight out, as she said everything.
