No wonder he was agitated.

It was from Madam Leblanc, and contained the news that Rose had made a clandestine marriage, and was gone, no one knew where.
Inclosed there was a short and rapturous note from Rose herself, saying that she had been married that day, and was blessed beyond the power of words to describe, and was on the point of leaving Canada forever.

She did not give her new name.

She said nothing of her husband, but that she loved him passionately.

There was but one name mentioned in the letter, that of a Mrs.Major Forsyth, whom she left home ostensibly to visit.
From the moment I read the letter, I had no doubt to whom she was married.
