Loftus and I have had a long, long talk this afternoon.

I have found at last the very bottom of Bertram's heart.

He came to me to save him, and I am determined to be his deliverer.

One quarter of my fortune I give to Loftus Bertram, and he shall marry Nina, and his debts shall be paid, and his mother relieved from the dreadful strain of anxiety she is now undergoing, and Loftus and Nina shall be happy and good.

Oh, yes, I know they will be good as well as happy.
