CHAPTER XII
8/12

We only see with our bodily eyes, but your spirit sees.

Mother, I know it--but he is gone! What is the meaning of that; he is gone like the mist of the morning--like a dream of the night, and he will never return, and if he did return it could never be anything to me!" And leaning on the table as she had done once before, her face buried on her arms, she sobbed unrestrainedly, Sara sitting by her and crying in sympathy.
All day they discussed the unhappy event.
"Who did it, mother?
and why did Gethin go away ?" "I don't know," said the old woman.

"I shall never know perhaps who did it, but I know it was not Gethin." "Why did I see him, mother?
I awoke suddenly and went into the passage, and there he was.

I wish I had slept sounder, for that sight will always be on my mind.
