Good-bye for a little while; only for a little while, my own, my own!" I knew the voice as I knew the words, and knowing, I think that I should have fallen to the ground, had she not supported me with her strong arms. "Who told you ?" I stammered.
"Was it Bickley or Bastin? They knew, though neither of them heard those holy words."
