You will find a locket inside which I wore when your father was married. I shall never use such frippery again, and you might as well have them now as when I am dead." Knowing that she meant to be gracious, I thanked her warmly. But having doubts regarding her taste, I abstained from opening the package until I reached home.
And my heart aches now when I think of that dark day in Arlington Street when I gave you the locket, and you went out of my life.
