Thank you kindly, Miss Bawn, but I don't think there's anything you can do for me.

The nuns'll find me an employment while I stay.

You're not vexed with me for leaving, Miss Bawn ?" "No, Nora, I quite understand," I said.

And then on an impulse I kissed her.
I knew she was fond of me, almost as fond as my old dog; and she did not hate me, although I was going to marry the man she loved.

She flushed when I kissed her, and the tears came again to her eyes.
"You are very good to me, Miss Bawn," she said.
