But I know how it would be: You would be sorry, and so should I.So let us part as we are now: you going your way, and I going mine.

We live in different worlds, Mrs.Reffold.It would be as senseless for me to venture into yours, as for you to come into mine.

Do you think I am unkind ?" So they parted.

Mrs.Reffold had spoken no word of affection to Bernardine, but at the station, as she bent down to kiss her, she whispered: "I know you will not think too hardly of me.

Still, will you promise me?
And if you are ever in trouble, and I can help you, will you write to me ?" And Bernardine promised.
When she got back to her room, she found a small packet on her table.
It contained Mr.Reffold's watch-chain.
