The magistrate, who was extremely ill at ease, had not yet succeeded in finding a syllable to offer in reply. Indeed, Mademoiselle Marguerite had not given him an opportunity to speak, so rapidly had this long-repressed flood of recollections poured from her lips.

"What's over, child?" cried Mrs. Benson, sitting bolt-upright in bed. "Mr. Meigs. I had to tell him that it couldn't be. And he is one of the best men I ever knew."
Like a dream the brilliant apparition rushed past Wilhelmine, and it haunted her through the long streets, to the humble home where she sought a temporary refuge.

She stood erect; a proud, insolent smile played around her mouth.

"And there " he drew her head towards him "Kiss me, good-night " He did not complete the quotation; indeed, her lips were already drawn too close to his. But, ere he released her, the long-repressed thought had found expression. "You don't kiss anybody but me?" he said half playfully. "Oh, no, sir," said Mary Ann, earnestly. "What!" more lightly still. "Haven't you got half a dozen young men?"
So saying, and overpowered by the long-repressed burst of filial sorrow, she sunk down on the banquette which ran along the inside of the embattled parapet of the platform, and murmuring to herself, "He is gone for ever!" abandoned herself to the extremity of grief.
