"And the amazing part of it all is," Dartrey went on, "that she seeks no reward except just to see the cause prosper.

I found out my father's address and sent him large sums of money, anonymously, for I did not wish him to discover what had become of me.

'Oh, do you think it's worth while? answered the girl, who was far from easy under this praise.
