Lilian whispered, a sob at length breaking her voice. The widow was perfectly self-possessed. Her eyes gleamed very brightly and glanced hither and thither with the keenest scrutiny. She held Lilian's hand, answering in a low voice: "Trust me, dear! I'm so glad you have come. What is his name?" "Mr. Northway." Mrs.
I bounded forward, passed her on the stairs, was in Lilian's room before her. My bride was on the floor prostrate, insensible: so still, so colourless, that my first dreadful thought was that life had gone. In her hand was a letter, crushed as with a convulsive sudden grasp. It was long before the colour came back to her cheek, before the breath was perceptible on her lip.
A few of her mates were truly sorry to part with her and surprised to find she was going to a high-up Seminary to be trained for a teacher. The teacher she liked so much was away on her vacation. So they left the old noisy, dirty factory city. It was Lilian's first journey in the great world. And oh how large and beautiful it was!
When the old man and the child came back, both brought me comfort. Amy was charmed with Lilian, who had received her with the sweetness natural to her real character, and I loved to hear Lilian's praise from those innocent lips. Faber's report was still more calculated to console me. "I have seen, I have conversed with her long and familiarly.
Had I been Lilian's brother instead of her betrothed, I should not have trembled less to foresee the shadow of Margrave's mysterious influence passing over a mind so predisposed to the charm which Mystery itself has for those whose thoughts fuse their outlines in fancies, whose world melts away into Dreamland.

I know you do, I see you do, but say so, Meg! She said so, with her lips on Lilian's cheek. And with her arms twined round she knew it now a broken heart. 'His blessing on you, dearest love. Kiss me once more! He suffered her to sit beside His feet, and dry them with her hair. O Meg, what Mercy and Compassion!
I reproach myself while I write for noticing such defect if defect it were in what may be called the practical routine of our positive, trivial, human existence. No doubt it was this that had caused Mrs. Poyntz's harsh judgment against the wisdom of my choice. But such chiller shade upon Lilian's charming nature was reflected from no inert, unamiable self-love.

But some day that shall be; and meantime there is nothing to hinder my liking this." He had almost an ideal home with Lilian's mother, as he wrote to his own mother, and every time he went out of it in the morning he felt himself a better man than he was when he went into it at night.
