He often found himself wondering whether she would return to the Dower House or not; he found his thoughts returning continually to her. Her beautiful face haunted him. He remembered her indignant appeals to Heaven for the justice she was not likely to obtain from man. It was a source of keen pleasure to him when she wrote to say that she intended to return to the Dower House, the only place where she had ever known either peace or happiness. She did return. It would be long to tell how their friendship ripened into love--how gradually the living love replaced the dead one in Kenelm Eyrle’s breast. He is not so confident now over matters; time was when he would have laughed to scorn any one who had hinted that Clarice could be not only replaced but surpassed. Now he was not so violent in his opinions nor so apt to rush into extremes. The first impetuous love of his youth was lavished on Clarice Severn; the love of his sadder, wiser manhood was given to Juliet Payton. They were married some time afterward and lived happily enough at “The Towers.” Mrs. Eyrle is very kind to Sir Ronald’s orphan children, for long after Lady Hermione’s death, Kenelm never saw them without tears in his eyes. Children of his own make “The Towers” merry with their happy laughter; life is made up of sunshine and shade. He had suffered much, but peace and rest came to him after long years. There is one duty he never omits, and that is visiting the graves of the fair women who lost their lives through an unhappy love. THE END.
