Oh, Die, if you knew how limp and helpless I felt when he said that; I trembled so that I was obliged to sit down, and--and I could not help crying.

I know I acted like a fool, but the next moment I could feel him bending over me, and his voice was quite changed and gentle when he asked me why I was crying." "Of course you told him ?" "Yes, I could not keep it back; and then somehow it all came right, and we were both so happy.

Oh, Die, how wonderful it seems that two such men should love me--my own dear David, and now Malcolm! I am not young or beautiful, or even clever." "I think I understand it," returned Dinah, affectionately.

And then Elizabeth put the last touches to her toilet, and a moment later they went downstairs, and found Malcolm still pacing the hall.

He put out his hand silently to Elizabeth as they followed Dinah into the dining-room.
