"Never scruple at its costliness; it cannot be richer than Anne's heart." And he grasped his old friend's hand warmly. Miss Valery continued, with a slight colour rising in her cheek. "This was given me twenty years ago for a wedding-veil. It has been wasted upon me, you see, but I wish some one to wear it, and would like it to be worn by a Mrs. Locke Harper." Agatha blushed crimson.
Think of it, and with pride, my child; let it keep thee through youth proof against the homage of meaner men; and, peradventure, St. Michael and St. Valery may bestow on thee a mate valiant and comely as this noble lord."
Passing alongside one of them, d'Artagnan fancied he perceived on board it the woman of Meung the same whom the unknown gentleman had called Milady, and whom d'Artagnan had thought so handsome; but thanks to the current of the stream and a fair wind, his vessel passed so quickly that he had little more than a glimpse of her. The next day about nine o'clock in the morning, he landed at St. Valery.
The door and ground-floor windows of this building opened at the same time, and we could see the mayor of St. Valéry, with the commissioner of police and a captain of infantry in full uniform, seated at a table upon which stood a cylindrical box horizontally between two pivots. This was the urn. Two gendarmes, one upon each side, stood watching over it with their arms folded.
Agatha almost recoiled from the idea of mentioning danger or death to Anne Valery. She went into the dining-room to write. Everything there appeared just as when this great shock struck the household into confusion; the dessert was not removed the wine in which he had drunk Nathanael's health, remained yet in Mr. Harper's glass. Agatha shrank back.
Again Major Harper protested there was nothing in the world he would not do for the sake of virtue, and Anne Valery. She drew her desk to her, and gave him paper and pen. "Write here, that you will pay gradually to certain shareholders I know of, the money they lost through trust in your name, and in that of the family.
If there is any good deed to be done, it is sure to be done by Anne Valery," added Nathanael, stretching out his hand to hers. She took it without speaking, being apparently much exhausted. And now that her bonnet was off, and she sitting near the lamp, Agatha discerned that Miss Valery was by no means young or beautiful.
And in choosing one's work, it always seemed to me there was great wisdom in the rule 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. Many things I could not do; this I can, well and faithfully, as Anne will find. Nor need I feel ashamed of being steward to Miss Valery." Agatha felt her spirit of opposition quaking on its throne. "But your father your sisters.
Valery I should say yonder stands one of those same gentilles fees!" King Edward's eye followed the direction of his companion's outstretched hand, and his quiet brow slightly contracted as he beheld the young form of Edith standing motionless a few yards before him, with the warm May wind lifting and playing with her long golden locks.
"That you might grow up a good and noble woman, fulfilling worthily the life He spared, and giving it back into His hands, in His time, as a true and faithful servant. Dare not to murmur at His will dare not to ask why He saved you, Agatha Harper." Saying this, as sternly as Anne Valery could speak she tried to put Agatha from her breast, but the girl held her too fast. "Oh, do not cast me away.
