Sargent had been offered the post of private secretary. He was to sail from New York, but he obtained leave to spend a few days in Boston to attend to some affairs. He went at once to Madam Royall and laid his plans before her. He wanted to marry Alice and take her with him, as he might be gone a long while. Alice was nothing loath, for the journey abroad was extremely tempting.
If you and he could both come into the fold, Jacob, it would be a wonderful thing for the elder and me." "I guess I'd ruther come in alone!" I said. "You mustn't be uncharitable," said she. "Mr. Gowdy is still hopeful of getting that property for Virginia Royall. He is working on that all the time. He came to get her signature to a paper this week. He is a changed man, Jacob a changed man."
I landed him at Whitefriars, and I to the Exchange, and so home to dinner, where I found my wife's brother, and thence after dinner by water to the Royall Theatre, where I resolved to bid farewell, as shall appear by my oaths tomorrow against all plays either at publique houses or Court till Christmas be over.

Harney, however, once satisfied of her security, had found plenty of reasons for urging her to return.

But the departure of Alice made a great break. "But it is the way of the world and the way of God that young people should marry," said Madam Royall. "I was very happy myself."
