Dering and Ernestine were alone; Ernestine had asked for the story of her own, or rather her mother's life, and now lay with her face turned away, while Mrs. Dering held her hand in that loving clasp, and began telling it quietly: "We were all living in Virginia at the time, dear. Papa Dering lived with his uncle Ridley.
Then as there was no opening of the pale lips, she fell into another tempest of tears, during which Grisell rushed to the stair, where on the lowest step she met Lambert and Ridley. "Have him away! Have him away, Cuthbert," she cried. "Out of the castle instantly. My mother is distraught with grief; I know not what she may do to him. O go! Not a word!"
Ridley is sincere I have no doubt, and herein lies my great confidence." At the end of a week Blanche returned from her wedding-tour, and was received by her parents with love and tenderness instead of reproaches.

"He not only paid the fees," he answered, "but he forced me to accept something for the poor box. He struck me as being a man who was inclined to be free with his money." The coroner looked at the solicitor who was representing the police. "I don't know if you want to ask this witness any questions?" he inquired. "Yes," said the solicitor. He turned to Mr. Ridley.
How everybody hugged and kissed everybody, in the abandonment of joy; how Uncle Ridley was deluged with caresses, and suddenly found himself holding Mrs. Dering in his arms, and patting her wildly on the back, while she cried on his shoulder.
