All the rest of that day I passed in her company, and the greater part of the two following days.

At last came Saturday night, the eve of our marriage.

It rained that night, so we did not go out, but spent the evening in the hut.

We sat hand in hand, saying little, but Mr.Carson talked a good deal, telling us tales of his youth, and of countries that he had visited.

Then he read aloud from the Bible, and bade us goodnight.
