"
I
knew
that
you
would
never
desert
me
,
"
she
said
,
looking
up
with
a
momentary
glow
on
her
otherwise
dejected
countenance
.
"
But
you
are
alone
!
grateful
as
it
is
to
be
thus
remembered
,
I
could
wish
to
think
you
are
not
entirely
alone
.
"
Duncan
,
observing
that
she
trembled
in
a
manner
which
betrayed
her
inability
to
stand
,
gently
induced
her
to
be
seated
,
while
he
recounted
those
leading
incidents
which
it
has
been
our
task
to
record
.
Alice
listened
with
breathless
interest
;
and
though
the
young
man
touched
lightly
on
the
sorrows
of
the
stricken
father
,
taking
care
,
however
,
not
to
wound
the
self-love
of
his
auditor
,
the
tears
ran
as
freely
down
the
cheeks
of
the
daughter
as
though
she
had
never
wept
before
.
The
soothing
tenderness
of
Duncan
,
however
,
soon
quieted
the
first
burst
of
her
emotions
,
and
she
then
heard
him
to
the
close
with
undivided
attention
,
if
not
with
composure
.
"
And
now
,
Alice
,
"
he
added
,
"
you
will
see
how
much
is
still
expected
of
you
.
By
the
assistance
of
our
experienced
and
invaluable
friend
,
the
scout
,
we
may
find
our
way
from
this
savage
people
,
but
you
will
have
to
exert
your
utmost
fortitude
.

Remember
that
you
fly
to
the
arms
of
your
venerable
parent
,
and
how
much
his
happiness
,
as
well
as
your
own
,
depends
on
those
exertions
.
"
"
Can
I
do
otherwise
for
a
father
who
has
done
so
much
for
me
?
"
"
And
for
me
too
,
"
continued
the
youth
,
gently
pressing
the
hand
he
held
in
both
his
own
.
The
look
of
innocence
and
surprise
which
he
received
in
return
convinced
Duncan
of
the
necessity
of
being
more
explicit
.

"
This
is
neither
the
place
nor
the
occasion
to
detain
you
with
selfish
wishes
,
"
he
added
;
"
but
what
heart
loaded
like
mine
would
not
wish
to
cast
its
burden
?
They
say
misery
is
the
closest
of
all
ties
;
our
common
suffering
in
your
behalf
left
but
little
to
be
explained
between
your
father
and
myself
.
"
"
And
dearest
Cora
,
Duncan
;
surely
Cora
was
not
forgotten
?
"
"
Not
forgotten
!
no
;
regretted
,
as
woman
was
seldom
mourned
before
.
Your
venerable
father
knew
no
difference
between
his
children
;
but
I
--
Alice
,
you
will
not
be
offended
when
I
say
,
that
to
me
her
worth
was
in
a
degree
obscured
--
