"In fact, I have often wondered." "Then," said Ida, "I'll show you.

I mentioned the picture once before, but you didn't think it worth while to look at it.

That was left to me.

I looked at it very often while you were away." She led him across the room, and Weston started and flushed when she took out the picture Arabella Kinnaird had made.
"No," said Ida, "I really don't think you have any reason to regret your conduct that eventful evening." "I never fancied that you or Miss Kinnaird saw me," laughed Weston.
"I'm afraid it was a remarkably foolish action." "It was one of the little actions that have big results," said Ida.
And in this she was correct, for one must reap as one has sown.

Then she looked up at him.
"If you hadn't taken Grenfell's part that night you would not have found the mine." Weston smiled, and gripped the hand he held in a tightening clasp.
"The mine!" he said.
