"
When
your
letter
of
instructions
was
found
,
I
offered
my
services
.
They
were
accepted
,
as
you
know
.
"
932
"
And
these
days
,
how
did
they
pass
for
you
?
"
The
question
startled
me
.
There
was
in
it
something
of
Margaret
's
own
voice
and
manner
;
something
so
greatly
resembling
her
lighter
moments
that
it
brought
out
all
the
masculinity
in
me
.
I
felt
more
sure
of
my
ground
now
as
I
said
:
933
"
These
days
,
sir
,
despite
all
their
harrowing
anxiety
,
despite
all
the
pain
they
held
for
the
girl
whom
I
grew
to
love
more
and
more
with
each
passing
hour
,
have
been
the
happiest
of
my
life
!
"
He
kept
silence
for
a
long
time
;
so
long
that
,
as
I
waited
for
him
to
speak
,
with
my
heart
beating
,
I
began
to
wonder
if
my
frankness
had
been
too
effusive
.
At
last
he
said
:

"
I
suppose
it
is
hard
to
say
so
much
vicariously
.
935
Her
poor
mother
should
have
heard
you
;
it
would
have
made
her
heart
glad
!
"
Then
a
shadow
swept
across
his
face
;
and
he
went
on
more
hurriedly
.
936
"
But
are
you
quite
sure
of
all
this
?
"
937
"
I
know
my
own
heart
,
sir
;
or
,
at
least
,
I
think
I
do
!
"

"
No
!
no
!
"
he
answered
,
"
I
do
n't
mean
you
.
That
is
all
right
!
But
you
spoke
of
my
girl
's
affection
for
me
...
and
yet
...
!
And
yet
she
has
been
living
here
,
in
my
house
,
a
whole
year
...
Still
,
she
spoke
to
you
of
her
loneliness
--
her
desolation
.
I
never
--
it
grieves
me
to
say
it
,
but
it
is
true
--
I
never
saw
sign
of
such
affection
towards
myself
in
all
the
year
!
...
"
His
voice
trembled
away
into
sad
,
reminiscent
introspection
.
939
"
Then
,
sir
,
"
I
said
,
"
I
have
been
privileged
to
see
more
in
a
few
days
than
you
in
her
whole
lifetime
!
"
My
words
seemed
to
call
him
up
from
himself
;
and
I
thought
that
it
was
with
pleasure
as
well
as
surprise
that
he
said
:
940
"
I
had
no
idea
of
it
.
I
thought
that
she
was
indifferent
to
me
.
That
what
seemed
like
the
neglect
of
her
youth
was
revenging
itself
on
me
.
That
she
was
cold
of
heart
...
.
It
is
a
joy
unspeakable
to
me
that
her
mother
's
daughter
loves
me
too
!
"
Unconsciously
he
sank
back
upon
his
pillow
,
lost
in
memories
of
the
past
.
