Bulstrode's course up to that time had, he thought, been sanctioned by remarkable providences, appearing to point the way for him to be the agent in making the best use of a large property and withdrawing it from perversion. Death and other striking dispositions, such as feminine trustfulness, had come; and Bulstrode would have adopted Cromwell's words "Do you call these bare events?
"I know it is God who is helping us." Very beautiful, very touching, was the simple trustfulness reposed in God, by Constance and Arthur Channing. The good seed had been sown on good ground, and was bringing forth its fruit. "I was deep in a reverie when you interrupted me, Constance," Arthur resumed.
He saw the group near the great case that held the State's battle-flags. He caught her arm and her startled face was turned up to his. "Come," he whispered, hoarsely. "Come! Do not ask me why. Only come. Hurry!" With the trustfulness she had always shown in him she did not hesitate.

First she saw a fair, well-proportioned forehead, with eyes whose remarkable clearness looked as if it owed itself to the mingling of manly confidence with feminine trustfulness.
