It was like a brisk breeze blowing away the brooding clouds that stifle the atmosphere before a thunderstorm. I dreaded to go and leave those two men together; but when Major Vandyke suggested walking with us to the car, and asking Mrs. Dalziel about Milly, my heart felt lighter.
When it was time to take the fast train to New York in the evening, and no telegram had come, it seemed as if that flame gave a devouring leap, and then went out, leaving my body a burnt-up shell. The next morning we were in New York, where Mr. Dalziel met his wife and Milly.
There was no other way out of the difficulty, and neither of them was inclined to be content with happiness, leaving duty unfulfilled.

Claverhouse's own regiment was disbanded early in the following year. Dalziel died in 1685, and was succeeded in the command by Dunmore. Napier gives the muster-roll of Claverhouse's regiment for May, 1685.
