If the bitter sorrow that bereavement had brought made any part of what she suffered now; if the void which death had made deepened the loneliness of this dreary time, she did not know it. All this weariness of body and sinking of heart might have come though she had never left Merleville, but it did not seem so to her. It was always of home she thought.
And I am sure of her, that whatever befalls her, she is one of those that need fear no evil." "It is a wonder to me, Miss Graeme," said Mrs Snow, after one of their long talks about old times "it is a wonder to me, that minding Merleville and all your friends there as well as you do, you should never have thought it worth your while to come back and see us." "Worth our while!" repeated Graeme.
Emily was at home for the occasion; and though at first she had been at a loss how to take the change, Menie's delight decided her, and she was delighted, too. They grew quiet in the evening but not sad. Seated around the fire in the parlour, the young people spoke much of the time of their coming to Merleville.
He lingered one delightful summer in Merleville, and then betook himself to Canada, to study his profession of the law. For Arthur, wise as the Merleville people came to think him, was guilty of one great folly in their eye.
"It is not just like last time, when we were strangers and new to the people. And we have seen almost everybody already. And I like this quiet time much best." "But, my dear, it is too late to begin to think first of your own likes and dislikes now. And it will be good for Rosie, and you mustna tell me that you are losing interest in your Merleville friends, dear!
Marian had no thought of sorrowful things in her heart now. They came home again the other way, past Judge Merle's and the school-house, singing and laughing in a way that made the sober-minded boys and girls of Merleville, to whom sleigh-riding was no novelty, turn round in astonishment as they passed.
But that is past with you now, surely, after all that you have seen of the Lord's goodness, to you and yours. What would you wish changed of all that has come and gone, since that first time when we looked on the bonny hills and valleys of Merleville?" "Janet," said Graeme, speaking low, "death has come to us since that day."
I have very much wished to visit my brother Norman. I daresay Rose and I will find ourselves there some day," added she, turning to Mr Snow. "Unless we keep you in Merleville," said he, smiling. "Oh! well, I am very willing to be kept there on certain conditions you know." "How do you suppose Fanny could ever do without you?" asked Mrs Grove, reproachfully. "Oh! she would miss us, I daresay.
But no change has come to anyone in Merleville, so great as the change that has come to Mr Snow himself. Death has been in his dwelling once twice. His wife and his mother have both found rest, the one from her weary waiting, the other from her cares. The house to which Sampson returns with lagging footsteps, is more silent than ever now.
Each vied with the others in efforts to help her and save her trouble; and if the reputation of Merleville, for all future time, had depended on the perfect fit of Graeme's one black silk, or on the fashion of her grey travelling-dress, there could not, as Mrs Snow rather sharply remarked, "have been more fuss made about it."
