"Father," said the convicted Vernon, "I did not know it was your house, or I could never have done it." "Alas, that a son of mine should have become a midnight assassin!" and Dr. Vaudelier covered his face with his hands, and sobbed like a child. "Forgive me, father!" exclaimed the repentant son. "Forgive me!" "God and your country alone can forgive crimes like yours!"
Vaudelier and his son and daughter was extremely interesting, and the hours passed rapidly away, in listening to the experience of each other. The meeting concluded with the making of new resolves, on the part of Dalhousie, to seek "the great purpose of his life" by higher and nobler means. As the dinner-hour approached, the happy parties were summoned by Mr.
I trust you will appreciate and regard my motives, as I do yours." Henry Carroll, as may be supposed, was much against the plan of Emily's returning to Bellevue with De Guy. But a death-bed scene was a difficult thing to reason against, and he was obliged to yield the point before the earnest eloquence of Emily, and more calm persuasions of Dr. Vaudelier.
Methinks I have seen that head of hair before," said Henry Carroll. "The face is not of the natural color," added Dr. Vaudelier, remarking that the skin of the forehead, which the wig had concealed, was very white, and almost transparent, while the face was besmeared with the color that composed the florid complexion of the attorney. "Take off his spectacles, Hatchie," said Henry.
"I fear I never can be that." "Try it! There is something left of you." At this moment Dr. Vaudelier entered the room.

Reaching the veranda of the house, he met Dr. Vaudelier and Henry Carroll, who followed him back to the drawing-room. "This way, silently, if you please," said he, and then closed the door.
For so many men, excited as they were by the anticipation of a conflict, they were remarkably quiet and orderly. Dr. Vaudelier had cautioned them to avoid all noise, and not to fire a rifle unless absolutely necessary. He had also instructed them to make prisoners of the assailants, if possible, without injuring them.
He felt a pleasure he had never before experienced, in being able to relieve the distressed, to heal the wounded heart, as well as the bruised limb. Under the skilful pilotage of Dr. Vaudelier the more rapid currents were avoided, the boat pressed to her utmost speed; and in a short time the party landed at the wood-yard of Jerry Swinger.
Emily, though sorry to leave her protectress, was drawn by the irresistible magnetism of affection to Cottage Island. She compromised between the opposing demands of duty by promising herself that she would again visit the wood-yard. She embarked with Dr. Vaudelier, and they were soon gliding down the mighty river on their way to Cottage Island.
It augured hope more than hope; and, as the wrecked mariner clings to the disjointed spar, his mind fastened upon that smile as the forerunner of a blissful reunion with her his soul cherished. "Be calm, sir, be calm; she is safe," continued Dr. Vaudelier. "Do you know it?" almost shouted Henry, attempting to rise.
