He stayed where he was, though his blood leaped within him, his admiration and respect for the girl outran his passion. Robert Worthington was a gentleman. "I will do as you say, Cynthia," he answered, "but I am doing it for you.
Then he took up his weary journey alone. The winter cold had grown harder as the days grew shorter. Famished wolves dogged his steps, but he outran them on his snow-shoes.

"Would you like to hear," she began softly, "something about the Revolution which my old school teacher told me in Virginia?" "Yes, tell me!" he answered eagerly. "He said that we could never have won our independence but for God. We didn't win because British soldiers couldn't fight. We held out for ten years because we outran them.
But I outran them and reached the garden before them, and when my master saw me in this state and heard me crying out, "Alas, my mistress! Alas! Alas!
