But now came the news that the old uncle who had 'backed' him at the bank had been found dead in bed of sheer old age. Then the long-kept secret came out at last. The dead man's executors claimed the money advanced so many, many years ago. This discovery finished it.
Mac, always chivalrous, said he would manage somehow without Bertie, rather than "upset things"; but the Maluka would not agree, and finally Nellie consented to go, on condition that she would be left at the homestead when the waggons went through. Then Mac came and confessed a long-kept secret. Roper belonged to the station, and he had no claim on him beyond fellowship.
And the climax which is the river scene, when the "Ambassador" penetrates at last the long-kept secret of the lovers is as right as it is surprising, and sinks away through admirable modulations to the necessary close.
"That, madam, is a strange prayer to be offered up at such a moment," replied the unknown guest of the province-house, and, courteously removing his hat, he offered his arm to raise the aged woman. "Yet, in reverence for your gray hairs and long-kept faith, Heaven forbid that any here should say you nay. Over the realms which still acknowledge his sceptre, God save King George!"
You must produce the person who can confirm my words. Her heart sank, for she feared that her long-kept secret was now to be noised abroad. But she said merely: 'Explain yourself. 'I shall explain myself fully when you bring here the negro whom you hide beneath your throne. Here the king shouted in wonderment: 'Explain yourself, young man!

Who knows but your voice, which I am sure will be the sweetest in the world to me, may be the instrument destined to stir my drowsy soul, to loose my halting tongue, and even to force my proud knees to bend before you? In short, why not adopt my suggestion, break your long-kept resolution, and sing for me this moment? Is the possible result not worth the trial?"

The money they gave was sometimes like the widow's two mites all their living; and not only the last penny, but ornaments, jewels, heirlooms, long-kept and cherished treasures, like the alabaster flask of ointment which was broken upon the feet of Jesus, were laid down on God's altar as a willing sacrifice.
Then at last the long-kept tears came to her, and she bent her white head in the snow. The old man came up with his pick, silently, and began working in the ice. The woman lay weeping, and the boy with his still, faint smile, lay looking at them, through the clear ice-veil, from his open eyes. I believe that the Professor found his bullet; I know not.
