"Yes," she said, indifferently, "if you have nothing more interesting to talk about." "Will you forgive an old friend and servant of your family, Miss Rachel, if I venture on asking whether your heart is set on this marriage?" "I am marrying in despair, Mr. Bruff on the chance of dropping into some sort of stagnant happiness which may reconcile me to my life."
They tracked them both to the forest by the footprints upon the sand, though once in the wood the trail was lost. The minister must have been watching, must have seen her leave the house, and must have followed her. How she, and he after her, passed through the gates, none know. So careless and confident had we grown God forgive us! that they may have been left open all that night.
"Oh, Howard, I must seem to you very ungrateful," she cried. "It was such a such a surprise. I have never lived in the country, and I'm sure it will be delightful and much more healthful than the city. Won't you forgive me?"
Rodman's eyes were filled with tears as he answered, "Of course I forgive you, fully and freely, old man. But don't worry about that now. Keep quiet and don't try to talk. We'll soon have you at home, where you'll be all right, and get over this shake-up in no time." A bright smile passed over Snyder's face, and glorified it.

"But will you forgive me?
But I've been up a good while, with nothing to eat. That old man is terrible. Olive!" "Her father? Yes, he's a terrible old man!" "It sickened me to hear him talk, just now, throwing out his threats of vengeance against Hubbard. It made me feel a sort of sympathy for that poor dog. Do you suppose she has the same motive? I couldn't forgive her!" he said, with a kind of passionate weakness.
"Assuredly not. But you must consider circumstances, and forgive Peter for being over zealous in my service. I received you as soon as I knew who you were." "Yes," somewhat mollified, "I presume that is true, although you are chilly enough, the Lord knows. But what brings you here?" "That must remain my secret, Captain Grant for the present." "Oh, very well.
"Abi, Prince and brother, I forgive you a deed that you purposed but did not attempt. May the gods and the spirits of our fathers forgive you also, if they will. Now as to your demand. You are my only living brother, and therefore I will weigh it.
"It grieves me to add to your burdens, Effie. I hoped to be able to lighten them, rather. But such is not God's will, and He sees what is best for us all. I do so long to see you again to get home. But I must have patience." "Have patience!" she repeated aloud. "Oh, poor child! To think of her lying there all these weary months! How can I ever forgive myself!" She rose from the table hastily.
