I
used
to
be
afraid
that
I
had
better
have
remained
your
pupil
,
and
almost
your
child
.
I
used
to
fear
that
I
was
so
unsuited
to
your
learning
and
wisdom
.
If
all
this
made
me
shrink
within
myself
(
as
indeed
it
did
)
,
when
I
had
that
to
tell
,
it
was
still
because
I
honoured
you
so
much
,
and
hoped
that
you
might
one
day
honour
me
.
’
‘
That
day
has
shone
this
long
time
,
Annie
,
’
said
the
Doctor
,
and
can
have
but
one
long
night
,
my
dear
.
’
‘
Another
word
!
I
afterwards
meant
—
steadfastly
meant
,
and
purposed
to
myself
—
to
bear
the
whole
weight
of
knowing
the
unworthiness
of
one
to
whom
you
had
been
so
good
.
And
now
a
last
word
,
dearest
and
best
of
friends
!
The
cause
of
the
late
change
in
you
,
which
I
have
seen
with
so
much
pain
and
sorrow
,
and
have
sometimes
referred
to
my
old
apprehension
—
at
other
times
to
lingering
suppositions
nearer
to
the
truth
—
has
been
made
clear
tonight
;
and
by
an
accident
I
have
also
come
to
know
,
tonight
,
the
full
measure
of
your
noble
trust
in
me
,
even
under
that
mistake
.

I
do
not
hope
that
any
love
and
duty
I
may
render
in
return
,
will
ever
make
me
worthy
of
your
priceless
confidence
;
but
with
all
this
knowledge
fresh
upon
me
,
I
can
lift
my
eyes
to
this
dear
face
,
revered
as
a
father
’
s
,
loved
as
a
husband
’
s
,
sacred
to
me
in
my
childhood
as
a
friend
’
s
,
and
solemnly
declare
that
in
my
lightest
thought
I
have
never
wronged
you
;
never
wavered
in
the
love
and
the
fidelity
I
owe
you
!
’
She
had
her
arms
around
the
Doctor
’
s
neck
,
and
he
leant
his
head
down
over
her
,
mingling
his
grey
hair
with
her
dark
brown
tresses
.
‘
Oh
,
hold
me
to
your
heart
,
my
husband
!
Never
cast
me
out
!
Do
not
think
or
speak
of
disparity
between
us
,
for
there
is
none
,
except
in
all
my
many
imperfections
.
Every
succeeding
year
I
have
known
this
better
,
as
I
have
esteemed
you
more
and
more
.
Oh
,
take
me
to
your
heart
,
my
husband
,
for
my
love
was
founded
on
a
rock
,
and
it
endures
!
’
In
the
silence
that
ensued
,
my
aunt
walked
gravely
up
to
Mr
.
Dick
,
without
at
all
hurrying
herself
,
and
gave
him
a
hug
and
a
sounding
kiss
.
And
it
was
very
fortunate
,
with
a
view
to
his
credit
,
that
she
did
so
;
for
I
am
confident
that
I
detected
him
at
that
moment
in
the
act
of
making
preparations
to
stand
on
one
leg
,
as
an
appropriate
expression
of
delight
.

‘
You
are
a
very
remarkable
man
,
Dick
!
’
said
my
aunt
,
with
an
air
of
unqualified
approbation
;
‘
and
never
pretend
to
be
anything
else
,
for
I
know
better
!
’
With
that
,
my
aunt
pulled
him
by
the
sleeve
,
and
nodded
to
me
;
and
we
three
stole
quietly
out
of
the
room
,
and
came
away
.
‘
That
’
s
a
settler
for
our
military
friend
,
at
any
rate
,
’
said
my
aunt
,
on
the
way
home
.
‘
I
should
sleep
the
better
for
that
,
if
there
was
nothing
else
to
be
glad
of
!
