Do

press

me

to

reply

,

'

answered

Rose

.

'

The

question

does

not

arise

,

and

never

will

.

It

is

unfair

,

almost

unkind

,

to

urge

it

.

'

'

If

your

answer

be

what

I

almost

dare

to

hope

it

is

,

'

retorted

Harry

,

'

it

will

shed

a

gleam

of

happiness

upon

my

lonely

way

,

and

light

the

path

before

me

.

It

is

not

an

idle

thing

to

do

so

much

,

by

the

utterance

of

a

few

brief

words

,

for

one

who

loves

you

beyond

all

else

.

Oh

,

Rose

:

in

the

name

of

my

ardent

and

enduring

attachment

;

in

the

name

of

all

I

have

suffered

for

you

,

and

all

you

doom

me

to

undergo

;

answer

me

this

one

question

!

'

'

Then

,

if

your

lot

had

been

differently

cast

,

'

rejoined

Rose

;

'

if

you

had

been

even

a

little

,

but

not

so

far

,

above

me

;

if

I

could

have

been

a

help

and

comfort

to

you

in

any

humble

scene

of

peace

and

retirement

,

and

not

a

blot

and

drawback

in

ambitious

and

distinguished

crowds

;

I

should

have

been

spared

this

trial

I

have

every

reason

to

be

happy

,

very

happy

,

now

;

but

then

,

Harry

,

I

own

I

should

have

been

happier

.

'

Busy

recollections

of

old

hopes

,

cherished

as

a

girl

,

long

ago

,

crowded

into

the

mind

of

Rose

,

while

making

this

avowal

;

but

they

brought

tears

with

them

,

as

old

hopes

will

when

they

come

back

withered

;

and

they

relieved

her

.

'

I

can

not

help

this

weakness

,

and

it

makes

my

purpose

stronger

,

'

said

Rose

,

extending

her

hand

.

'

I

must

leave

you

now

,

indeed

.

'

'

I

ask

one

promise

,

'

said

Harry

.

'

Once

,

and

only

once

more

--

say

within

a

year

,

but

it

may

be

much

sooner

--

I

may

speak

to

you

again

on

this

subject

,

for

the

last

time

.

'

'

Not

to

press

me

to

alter

my

right

determination

,

'

replied

Rose

,

with

a

melancholy

smile

;

'

it

will

be

useless

.

'

'

No

,

'

said

Harry

;

'

to

hear

you

repeat

it

,

if

you

will

--

finally

repeat

it

!

I

will

lay

at

your

feet

,

whatever

of

station

of

fortune

I

may

possess

;

and

if

you

still

adhere

to

your

present

resolution

,

will

not

seek

,

by

word

or

act

,

to

change

it

.

'

'

Then

let

it

be

so

,

'

rejoined

Rose

;

'

it

is

but

one

pang

the

more

,

and

by

that

time

I

may

be

enabled

to

bear

it

better

.
