What

do

you

mean

!

'

she

faltered

.

'

I

mean

but

this

--

that

when

I

left

you

last

,

I

left

you

with

a

firm

determination

to

level

all

fancied

barriers

between

yourself

and

me

;

resolved

that

if

my

world

could

not

be

yours

,

I

would

make

yours

mine

;

that

no

pride

of

birth

should

curl

the

lip

at

you

,

for

I

would

turn

from

it

.

This

I

have

done

.

Those

who

have

shrunk

from

me

because

of

this

,

have

shrunk

from

you

,

and

proved

you

so

far

right

.

Such

power

and

patronage

:

such

relatives

of

influence

and

rank

:

as

smiled

upon

me

then

,

look

coldly

now

;

but

there

are

smiling

fields

and

waving

trees

in

England

's

richest

county

;

and

by

one

village

church

--

mine

,

Rose

,

my

own

!

--

there

stands

a

rustic

dwelling

which

you

can

make

me

prouder

of

,

than

all

the

hopes

I

have

renounced

,

measured

a

thousandfold

.

This

is

my

rank

and

station

now

,

and

here

I

lay

it

down

!

'

'

It

's

a

trying

thing

waiting

supper

for

lovers

,

'

said

Mr

Grimwig

,

waking

up

,

and

pulling

his

pocket-handkerchief

from

over

his

head

.

Truth

to

tell

,

the

supper

had

been

waiting

a

most

unreasonable

time

.

Neither

Mrs.

Maylie

,

nor

Harry

,

nor

Rose

(

who

all

came

in

together

)

,

could

offer

a

word

in

extenuation

.

'

I

had

serious

thoughts

of

eating

my

head

to-night

,

'

said

Mr.

Grimwig

,

'

for

I

began

to

think

I

should

get

nothing

else

.

I

'll

take

the

liberty

,

if

you

'll

allow

me

,

of

saluting

the

bride

that

is

to

be

.

'

Mr.

Grimwig

lost

no

time

in

carrying

this

notice

into

effect

upon

the

blushing

girl

;

and

the

example

,

being

contagious

,

was

followed

both

by

the

doctor

and

Mr.

Brownlow

:

some

people

affirm

that

Harry

Maylie

had

been

observed

to

set

it

,

orginally

,

in

a

dark

room

adjoining

;

but

the

best

authorities

consider

this

downright

scandal

:

he

being

young

and

a

clergyman

.

Oliver

,

my

child

,

'

said

Mrs.

Maylie

,

'

where

have

you

been

,

and

why

do

you

look

so

sad

?

There

are

tears

stealing

down

your

face

at

this

moment

.

What

is

the

matter

?

'

It

is

a

world

of

disappointment

:

often

to

the

hopes

we

most

cherish

,

and

hopes

that

do

our

nature

the

greatest

honour

.

Poor

Dick

was

dead
