The Harvester

CHAPTER XVII
41/70

I'm almost insane.

Will you tell me what it means ?" "Means that I took advantage of the Girl's illness, utter loneliness, and fear, and forced her into marrying me for shelter and care, when she loved and wanted another man, who was preparing to come to her.

He is her Chicago doctor, and fine in every fibre, as you can see.

There is only one thing on earth for me to do, and that is to get out of their way, and I'll do it as soon as she is well; but I vow I won't leave her poor, tired body until she is, not even for him.

I thought sure I could teach her to love me! Oh but this is bitter, Doc!" "You are a consummate fool to bring him here!" cried Doctor Carey.
