This last reason would not hold, however, if I had the least expectation of being successful." "You consent then ?" said Lawrence, quickly, turning towards the other.
"You'll go to Miss March for me ?" "Yes, I think I will," said Junius, "if you will accept the services of a man who is decidedly opposed to your interests." "Of course I never expected you to favor them," said Lawrence, "nor is it necessary that you should.

All I ask is, that you carry a message to Miss March, and if she needs any explanation of it, that you will explain in the way that I shall indicate; that you shall tell me how she received my message; and that you shall bring me back her answer.

There is no need of your making any proposition to her; that has already been done; what I want is, that she should not go away from here with a misunderstanding between us, and that she shall give me at least the promise of a hearing." "Very good," said Junius, "now, what is it that you want me to say ?" This was not an easy question for Lawrence to answer.

He knew very well what he wanted to say, if he had a chance of saying it himself.

He wanted to pour his whole heart out to Roberta March, and, showing her its present passion, to ask her to forgive those days in which his mind only had appeared to be engaged.
