‘
Who
has
done
this
?
’
exclaimed
Miss
Mills
,
succouring
her
friend
.
I
replied
,
‘
I
,
Miss
Mills
!
I
have
done
it
!
Behold
the
destroyer
!
’
-
or
words
to
that
effect
—
and
hid
my
face
from
the
light
,
in
the
sofa
cushion
.
At
first
Miss
Mills
thought
it
was
a
quarrel
,
and
that
we
were
verging
on
the
Desert
of
Sahara
;
but
she
soon
found
out
how
matters
stood
,
for
my
dear
affectionate
little
Dora
,
embracing
her
,
began
exclaiming
that
I
was
‘
a
poor
labourer
’
;
and
then
cried
for
me
,
and
embraced
me
,
and
asked
me
would
I
let
her
give
me
all
her
money
to
keep
,
and
then
fell
on
Miss
Mills
’
s
neck
,
sobbing
as
if
her
tender
heart
were
broken
.
Miss
Mills
must
have
been
born
to
be
a
blessing
to
us
.
She
ascertained
from
me
in
a
few
words
what
it
was
all
about
,
comforted
Dora
,
and
gradually
convinced
her
that
I
was
not
a
labourer
—
from
my
manner
of
stating
the
case
I
believe
Dora
concluded
that
I
was
a
navigator
,
and
went
balancing
myself
up
and
down
a
plank
all
day
with
a
wheelbarrow
—
and
so
brought
us
together
in
peace
.
When
we
were
quite
composed
,
and
Dora
had
gone
up
-
stairs
to
put
some
rose
-
water
to
her
eyes
,
Miss
Mills
rang
for
tea
.
In
the
ensuing
interval
,
I
told
Miss
Mills
that
she
was
evermore
my
friend
,
and
that
my
heart
must
cease
to
vibrate
ere
I
could
forget
her
sympathy
.
I
then
expounded
to
Miss
Mills
what
I
had
endeavoured
,
so
very
unsuccessfully
,
to
expound
to
Dora
.
Miss
Mills
replied
,
on
general
principles
,
that
the
Cottage
of
content
was
better
than
the
Palace
of
cold
splendour
,
and
that
where
love
was
,
all
was
.
I
said
to
Miss
Mills
that
this
was
very
true
,
and
who
should
know
it
better
than
I
,
who
loved
Dora
with
a
love
that
never
mortal
had
experienced
yet
?
But
on
Miss
Mills
observing
,
with
despondency
,
that
it
were
well
indeed
for
some
hearts
if
this
were
so
,
I
explained
that
I
begged
leave
to
restrict
the
observation
to
mortals
of
the
masculine
gender
.
I
then
put
it
to
Miss
Mills
,
to
say
whether
she
considered
that
there
was
or
was
not
any
practical
merit
in
the
suggestion
I
had
been
anxious
to
make
,
concerning
the
accounts
,
the
housekeeping
,
and
the
Cookery
Book
?
Miss
Mills
,
after
some
consideration
,
thus
replied
:
‘
Mr
.
