There was nothing in Italy that could make her forget that night, though often from her window she had looked out on Venice, moon-becalmed, while the nightingale sang from pomegranate trees in the hedgerows. Where a woman's love is first given, that, thereafter, is her heart's sanctuary. Alice Westmore landed at home again amid drum beats.
The cow's of more value to me than money. Them's his very orders." "Oh, I see, I see," Mr. Westmore remarked, as a stern look crossed his face, and his eyes flashed with indignation. "It's not the money your master wants, but only the pound of flesh." "Boss didn't say nuthin' 'bout any pound of flesh. He only said 'the cow, an' the cow he'll git if Pete Davis knows anything."
Gaines cultivated the convenient and popular idea that by ignoring wrongs one is not so much condoning as actually denying their existence; and in pursuance of this belief he devoutly abstained from studying the conditions at Westmore. A farther surprise awaited Amherst when Truscomb reappeared in the office.
He likes it better." "Yes; if you want me to, I will. But, say, what's your name?" "Oh, mine's just Nellie, Nellie Westmore. Not very pretty, is it?" "I think it is. Do you know that was my mother's name Nellie, I mean, not the other one." "And do you remember your mother, Dan?" "Only a little. She was good and pretty, just like you." "Tell me about her, will you? I should like to hear."
Almost at the same time, however, another piece of news changed the aspect of affairs. A scandalous occurrence at the Eldorado, witnesses to which were unexpectedly forthcoming, put it in Amherst's power to threaten the landlord with exposure unless he should at once accept the company's offer and withdraw from Westmore.
So, in obedience to the ancient sorcery of life, these two groped for and found each other in regions seemingly so remote from the accredited domain of romance that it would have been as a great surprise to them to learn whither they had strayed as to see the arid streets of Westmore suddenly bursting into leaf.

"It's the curse of my trade that it's always tempting me to interfere in cases where I can do no possible good.
Go home and suffer if you would be a great singer," he said, "for great songs come only with great suffering." If this were true, Alice Westmore was now, indeed, a great singer; for now had she suffered. And it was the death of a life with her when love died. For there be some with whom love is a separate life, and when love dies all that is worth living dies with it.
And, partly for this reason, he had put off from month to month the final question of the future management of the mills, and of the radical changes to be made there if his system were to prevail. But the time had come when, if Bessy had to turn to Westmore for the justification of her marriage, he had even more need of calling upon it for the same service.
There is no reason why I should not go back to my work at Westmore." There was in fact no reason that he could produce; and the next day they returned to Hanaford together. With her perceptions strung to the last pitch of sensitiveness, she felt a change in Amherst as soon as they re-entered Bessy's house.
