"Yes... Thank you, Dan!" The answer came in a breathless gasp.
Darsie's big eyes were fixed upon Dan's face in rapt, incredulous gaze.
The cramp of loneliness had loosened from her heart; the depression had
vanished; a marvellous new interest had entered into her life; she was
filled with a beatific content.
"I'll remember! I'll be proud to remember. But--I don't understand!"
"I don't understand myself," said Dan simply. "I only know it is true.
So don't get low, Darsie, and don't be discouraged. You're in a class
by yourself, and all the honours in the world couldn't improve you. And
now that's over, and we start afresh!"
It was like Dan to hurry back with all speed to more practical talk.
Darsie understood, and was satisfied. They stood together for another
moment looking back on the massed towers and spires of Cambridge, then
slowly, reluctantly, turned away.
A new life lay ahead, its outline vague and undefined like that of the
landscape around, but the sun was shining. It shone full on their young
faces, as they went forward, hand in hand.
