“Listen further. If, when you have got over this pang of parting, and have lived some little time under the influence of your aunt, you should then, after calm reflection, feel that you could be happy with me, write and recall me, and I will be at your feet again, as I am now.” He had controlled himself by a great and sustained exertion of his will, and she at last grew quieter under his influence. “Dear David Lindsay,” she said, with a final sob and sigh, “go, if you feel that you must go, and put me on this probation, if you think I need it! But I shall soon write and beg you to come back to me. Be sure of that! And you will come just as soon as I send for you, will you not?” “Just as soon as you write for me,” he answered. “And oh, David Lindsay, if I thought you wouldn’t—if I thought that anything could happen to prevent you from coming back to me—I could never bear to see you go. It would break my heart. You will come back to me? Tell me again.” “I will come back as soon as you send for me.” THE END [The sequel to this story is published in another volume, entitled “David Lindsay,” in uniform style and price with this book.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ POPULAR COPYRIGHT BOOKS AT MODERATE PRICES Any of the following titles can be bought of your Bookseller at the price you paid for this volume =Adventures of Captain Kettle.= Cutcliffe Hyne. =Adventures of Gerard.= A.
