"Since then we have stayed with the friends at St. Catharine's, exchanging words of cheer with Presbyterian, Episcopal, Methodist, and other brethren.

Perhaps Sidwell was betrothed to some one? He knew of but one likely person Miss Moorhouse's brother.
The Moorhouses and McCleans were old friends, and had been together in Australia on the diggings many years before.
