"I guess ye'll like him better now that he's gone," Mrs. Wadell remarked. "I know I should, anyway, if he'd done as handsome by me as he's done by you." "Why, what do you mean?" Betty asked in surprise. "Why, about the money he's left ye.
"Why?" the girl asked. "Because of the money Mr. David has left you. You remember what Mrs. Wadell said, don't you?" "Oh, yes," and Betty fixed her eyes thoughtfully upon the ground. "I have been thinking about that. But do you think I should use that money on myself?" "Why, certainly; what else should you do with it?" "But Mr. Jasper will need it, will he not?" "In what way?"
The people leaving the grave passed close to the spot where they were sitting, and many were the curious glances cast in their direction. Several women stopped to speak to them, among whom was Mrs. Wadell, noted all over the parish for her fondness for gossip, as well as for meddling in the affairs of others. "So ye feel bad, do ye?" and she fixed her piercing eyes upon Betty's tear-stained face.
