Tester had been right. It was useless to look back to the past for guidance. He had a few hours back asked for some fixed standard by which to judge the false from the true. There were no standards except a man's own experience. Here at Fernhurst he had failed to find anything, because he had sought for the wrong things; he had at once accepted the crowd's statement for the truth.

Turning to their left, they went down the narrow one, peering about them eagerly. The doors of several bedrooms stood open. Into the first they entered. The high, old-fashioned, four-post bed with its ruffled valance and tester was still smoothly made up and undisturbed. The room was in perfect order.

"Oh! Stead, Stead," she cried, bursting into tears. "I thought you had forgiven me." "Forgiven you! Yea, truly, poor child, but " "But only when you were sick!

The prevailing opinion, I think, was that he ought to obey the promptings of his heart London cares so much for the heart!
