There
had
been
a
long
past
time
when
Henry
Westwick
had
owned
that
he
loved
her
.
She
had
made
her
confession
to
him
,
acknowledging
that
her
heart
was
given
to
his
eldest
brother
.
He
had
submitted
to
his
disappointment
;
and
they
had
met
thenceforth
as
cousins
and
friends
.
Never
before
had
she
associated
the
idea
of
him
with
embarrassing
recollections
.
But
now
,
on
the
very
day
when
his
brother
’
s
marriage
to
another
woman
had
consummated
his
brother
’
s
treason
towards
her
,
there
was
something
vaguely
repellent
in
the
prospect
of
seeing
him
.
The
old
nurse
(
who
remembered
them
both
in
their
cradles
)
observed
her
hesitation
;
and
sympathising
of
course
with
the
man
,
put
in
a
timely
word
for
Henry
.
’
He
says
,
he
’
s
going
away
,
my
dear
;
and
he
only
wants
to
shake
hands
,
and
say
good
-
bye
.
’
This
plain
statement
of
the
case
had
its
effect
.
Agnes
decided
on
receiving
her
cousin
.
He
entered
the
room
so
rapidly
that
he
surprised
her
in
the
act
of
throwing
the
fragments
of
Montbarry
’
s
last
letter
into
the
fire
.
She
hurriedly
spoke
first
.
’
You
are
leaving
London
very
suddenly
,
Henry
.
Is
it
business
?
or
pleasure
?
’
Instead
of
answering
her
,
he
pointed
to
the
flaming
letter
,
and
to
some
black
ashes
of
burnt
paper
lying
lightly
in
the
lower
part
of
the
fireplace
.
’
Are
you
burning
letters
?
’
’
Yes
.
’
’
His
letters
?
’
’
Yes
.
’
He
took
her
hand
gently
.
’
I
had
no
idea
I
was
intruding
on
you
,
at
a
time
when
you
must
wish
to
be
alone
.
Forgive
me
,
Agnes
—
I
shall
see
you
when
I
return
.
’
She
signed
to
him
,
with
a
faint
smile
,
to
take
a
chair
.
