and
then
the
sense
of
being
in
his
arms
,
hearing
his
voice
,
meeting
his
eye
,
touching
his
hand
and
cheek
,
loving
him
,
being
loved
by
him
--
the
hope
of
passing
a
lifetime
at
his
side
,
would
be
renewed
,
with
all
its
first
force
and
fire
.
Then
I
awoke
.
Then
I
recalled
where
I
was
,
and
how
situated
.
Then
I
rose
up
on
my
curtainless
bed
,
trembling
and
quivering
;
and
then
the
still
,
dark
night
witnessed
the
convulsion
of
despair
,
and
heard
the
burst
of
passion
.
By
nine
o'clock
the
next
morning
I
was
punctually
opening
the
school
;
tranquil
,
settled
,
prepared
for
the
steady
duties
of
the
day
.
Rosamond
Oliver
kept
her
word
in
coming
to
visit
me
.
Her
call
at
the
school
was
generally
made
in
the
course
of
her
morning
ride
.
She
would
canter
up
to
the
door
on
her
pony
,
followed
by
a
mounted
livery
servant
.
Anything
more
exquisite
than
her
appearance
,
in
her
purple
habit
,
with
her
Amazon
's
cap
of
black
velvet
placed
gracefully
above
the
long
curls
that
kissed
her
cheek
and
floated
to
her
shoulders
,
can
scarcely
be
imagined
:
and
it
was
thus
she
would
enter
the
rustic
building
,
and
glide
through
the
dazzled
ranks
of
the
village
children
.
She
generally
came
at
the
hour
when
Mr.
Rivers
was
engaged
in
giving
his
daily
catechising
lesson
.
Keenly
,
I
fear
,
did
the
eye
of
the
visitress
pierce
the
young
pastor
's
heart
.
A
sort
of
instinct
seemed
to
warn
him
of
her
entrance
,
even
when
he
did
not
see
it
;
and
when
he
was
looking
quite
away
from
the
door
,
if
she
appeared
at
it
,
his
cheek
would
glow
,
and
his
marble-seeming
features
,
though
they
refused
to
relax
,
changed
indescribably
,
and
in
their
very
quiescence
became
expressive
of
a
repressed
fervour
,
stronger
than
working
muscle
or
darting
glance
could
indicate
.

Of
course
,
she
knew
her
power
:
indeed
,
he
did
not
,
because
he
could
not
,
conceal
it
from
her
.
In
spite
of
his
Christian
stoicism
,
when
she
went
up
and
addressed
him
,
and
smiled
gaily
,
encouragingly
,
even
fondly
in
his
face
,
his
hand
would
tremble
and
his
eye
burn
.
He
seemed
to
say
,
with
his
sad
and
resolute
look
,
if
he
did
not
say
it
with
his
lips
,
"
I
love
you
,
and
I
know
you
prefer
me
.
It
is
not
despair
of
success
that
keeps
me
dumb
.
If
I
offered
my
heart
,
I
believe
you
would
accept
it
.
But
that
heart
is
already
laid
on
a
sacred
altar
:
the
fire
is
arranged
round
it
.
It
will
soon
be
no
more
than
a
sacrifice
consumed
.
"
And
then
she
would
pout
like
a
disappointed
child
;
a
pensive
cloud
would
soften
her
radiant
vivacity
;
she
would
withdraw
her
hand
hastily
from
his
,
and
turn
in
transient
petulance
from
his
aspect
,
at
once
so
heroic
and
so
martyr-like
.
St.
John
,
no
doubt
,
would
have
given
the
world
to
follow
,
recall
,
retain
her
,
when
she
thus
left
him
;
but
he
would
not
give
one
chance
of
heaven
,
nor
relinquish
,
for
the
elysium
of
her
love
,
one
hope
of
the
true
,
eternal
Paradise
.
Besides
,
he
could
not
bind
all
that
he
had
in
his
nature
--
the
rover
,
the
aspirant
,
the
poet
,
the
priest
--
in
the
limits
of
a
single
passion
.
He
could
not
--
he
would
not
--
renounce
his
wild
field
of
mission
warfare
for
the
parlours
and
the
peace
of
Vale
Hall
.
I
learnt
so
much
from
himself
in
an
inroad
I
once
,
despite
his
reserve
,
had
the
daring
to
make
on
his
confidence
.
Miss
Oliver
already
honoured
me
with
frequent
visits
to
my
cottage
.
I
had
learnt
her
whole
character
,
which
was
without
mystery
or
disguise
:
she
was
coquettish
but
not
heartless
;
exacting
,
but
not
worthlessly
selfish
.
She
had
been
indulged
from
her
birth
,
but
was
not
absolutely
spoilt
.
She
was
hasty
,
but
good-humoured
;
vain
(
she
could
not
help
it
,
when
every
glance
in
the
glass
showed
her
such
a
flush
of
loveliness
)
,
but
not
affected
;
liberal-handed
;
innocent
of
the
pride
of
wealth
;
ingenuous
;
sufficiently
intelligent
;
gay
,
lively
,
and
unthinking
:
she
was
very
charming
,
in
short
,
even
to
a
cool
observer
of
her
own
sex
like
me
;
but
she
was
not
profoundly
interesting
or
thoroughly
impressive
.
A
very
different
sort
of
mind
was
hers
from
that
,
for
instance
,
of
the
sisters
of
St.
John
.
Still
,
I
liked
her
almost
as
I
liked
my
pupil
Adele
;
except
that
,
for
a
child
whom
we
have
watched
over
and
taught
,
a
closer
affection
is
engendered
than
we
can
give
an
equally
attractive
adult
acquaintance
.

She
had
taken
an
amiable
caprice
to
me
.
She
said
I
was
like
Mr.
Rivers
,
only
,
certainly
,
she
allowed
,
"
not
one-tenth
so
handsome
,
though
I
was
a
nice
neat
little
soul
enough
,
but
he
was
an
angel
.
"
I
was
,
however
,
good
,
clever
,
composed
,
and
firm
,
like
him
.
I
was
a
lusus
naturae
,
she
affirmed
,
as
a
village
schoolmistress
:
she
was
sure
my
previous
history
,
if
known
,
would
make
a
delightful
romance
.
One
evening
,
while
,
with
her
usual
child-like
activity
,
and
thoughtless
yet
not
offensive
inquisitiveness
,
she
was
rummaging
the
cupboard
and
the
table-drawer
of
my
little
kitchen
,
she
discovered
first
two
French
books
,
a
volume
of
Schiller
,
a
German
grammar
and
dictionary
,
and
then
my
drawing-materials
and
some
sketches
,
including
a
pencil-head
of
a
pretty
little
cherub-like
girl
,
one
of
my
scholars
,
and
sundry
views
from
nature
,
taken
in
the
Vale
of
Morton
and
on
the
surrounding
moors
.
She
was
first
transfixed
with
surprise
,
and
then
electrified
with
delight
.
