Kate Danton, or, Captain Danton’s Daughters

CHAPTER XVII
5/29

It was Harry as plainly as ever I saw him." She spoke in a voice of intense agitation; but the young Doctor listened with perfect coolness.
"How was it, Agnes?
Where did you see him ?" "Walking in the tamarack avenue, one moonlight night, about a week ago, with Miss Danton." "And you are positive it was your husband ?" "Do you think I could make a mistake in such a matter?
It was Harry--I saw him clearly in the moonlight." "It's surprising you did not run out, and fall down in hysterics at his feet." She sighed wearily.
"No.

I dared not.

But, oh, Doctor Danton, when shall I see him?
When will you tell him I am innocent ?" "Not just yet; it won't do to hurry matters in this case.

You have waited long and patiently; wait yet a little longer until the right time comes.

The happiness of knowing he is alive and well, and dwelling under the same roof with you should reconcile you to that." "It does," she said, her tears falling softly.
