At that instant her full memory came, and, uttering a low cry, she started up, and struggling to her feet, confronted her child, this time with a look full of agonised inquiry. Reuther seemed to understand her; for, taking her mother's hand in hers, she softly said: "I knew you were not seriously ill, only frightened by the crowd and their senseless shoutings.
Her husband had had traits which, in a manner, had prepared her for the ready suspicion of people. But Oliver was a man of reputation and kindly heart; and yet, in the course of time THIS had come, and the question once agitating her as to whether Reuther was a fit mate for him had now evolved itself into this: WAS HE A FIT MATE FOR HER?
As she did so she was approached by Reuther who handed her a letter which had just been delivered. It was from Mr. Black and read thus: We have found the rogue and have succeeded in inducing him to leave town. He's a man in the bill-sticking business and he owns to a grievance against the person we know. Deborah's sleep that night was without dreams.
And you have gossiped about this picture," he again vociferated with sudden and unrestrained violence, "told Reuther told others " "No." The denial was peremptory, not to be disbelieved. "What I have learned, I have kept religiously to myself. Alas!" she half moaned, half cried, "that I should feel the necessity!"
Alas, in this delicately organised girl these were both attuned to the nicest discrimination, and before the mother could speak, Reuther had started up, crying: "Oh, how your heart beats! Something has happened, darling mother; something which " "Hush, Reuther; it is only this: When I came to Shelby it was with a hope that I might some day smooth the way to your happiness.
I had every confidence in his assertions. I should have yet, if it were not for this horror." "Forget it for a moment. Recall his effect upon you as a man, a prospective son-in-law, for you meant him to marry Reuther." "I trusted him. I would trust him in many ways yet."
She's not out of my mind a moment." "Reuther is young, and has a gallant soul. I mean you, Mrs. Scoville, you! You are not to succumb to this trial. You have a future a bright future or should have. Do not endanger it by giving up all your strength now. It's precious, that strength, or would be " He broke off; she began to move away.
I had better have left it, as he wrote it." Then after another silence, he added, with a certain vehemence: "We will struggle no longer, either you or I. The boy must come home. Prepare Reuther, or, if you think best, provide a place for her where she will be safe from the storm which bids fair to wreck us here. No, don't speak; just ask Mr. Black to return, will you?"

Morning passed and the noon came, bringing Deborah an increased uneasiness. When lunch was over and Reuther sat down to her piano, the feeling had grown into an obsession, which soon resolved itself into a definite fear. "What if an attack, such as I once saw, should come upon him while he sits upon the bench! Why have I not thought of this before? O God! these evil days! When will they be over!"
She was still crocheting, or trying to, but her attitude was constrained and her gaze fixed; and that gaze was not on her work, but directed towards a small object at her side, which Reuther recognised from its open lid to be the little lady's workbox.
