Ah! had she wronged him with her fears for the future?
Her heart seemed full of trust to-night, full of confidence in him and in herself.

It seemed to her that if he were here she could go out with him into this brilliant moonlight, seat herself upon some ancient fallen stone, and let him kneel in front of her and gaze and gaze in his persistent way, as much as he pleased.

In thought there seemed to-night no shrinking from those dear eyes.

She felt she would say: "It is all your own, Garth, to look at when you will.

For your sake, I could wish it beautiful; but if it is as you like it, my own Dear, why should I hide it from you ?" What had brought about this change of mind?
Had Deryck's prescription done its full work?
Was this a saner point of view than the one she had felt constrained to take when she arrived, through so much agony of renunciation, at her decision?
Instead of going up the Nile, and then to Constantinople and Athens, should she take the steamer which sailed from Alexandria to-morrow, be in London a week hence, send for Garth, make full confession, and let him decide as to their future?
That he loved her still, it never occurred to Jane to doubt.
