"I have something I wish especially to say to you." Florence did not meet his eyes, but she well knew the message therein. She nodded assent to the request. Making a detour, they emerged into the park, and strolled back to a place where, seeing, they themselves could not be seen. Sidwell found a bench, and they sat down side by side. The girl offered no suggestion, no protest.
He cannot reasonably find fault with you, for he knows all you have to consider. Won't this be best? Sidwell was long silent. 'I will go with you, she said at last, in a low voice. 'I will ask him to grant me perfect liberty for a year.
'If I know myself, never! Oh, try to find your true work! You have such abilities, powers so much greater than those of ordinary men. You will always be the same to me, and if ever circumstances' 'You would have to give up so much, Sidwell. And there is little chance of my ever being well-to-do; poverty will always stand between us, if nothing else.
