But my next thought was indignant concern for Ruth. Was she to suffer mortification? Had she been led to form expectations and wishes by a man who preferred another? If I could but see her when first she heard the thing announced, I should be able to catch her real feelings, whatever they might be, and I became at once eager to be the first to bring her the news.

Being new to her, she took a pride and a delight in seeing her brother appealed to, as the friend of all occasions; not as the richer man whose purse was thought of, but as the wiser, kinder, better man, to act for them and with them. She stood by silently when the walk they were taking together was interrupted by a peasant, to say he had a sick child, and the doctor said "it was bound to die; would his Reverence please to come and comfort its mother?"

And, alas! he who had been so wrong hitherto was too right now. There was no possibility of seeing Mr. Lockfield that night; and again I had to wait.

There is an end to it, however -- a moment when at last one looks back over the intolerable past; and as soon as that moment came, with the next morning, I ran to Mr. Carey's house. I must see him. He should be at home. I could not breathe otherwise. Accordingly, when the door was opened, I asked for him, and pressed to enter at the some moment; but the servant stood in the way, and denied him.
