What is there left to write about? Nothing is left--but to say good-by
(very sorrowfully on the writer’s part) to the Persons of the Story.
Good-by to Miss Pink--who will regret to her dying day that Isabel’s
answer to Hardyman was No.
Good-by to Lady Lydiard--who differs with Miss Pink, and would have
regretted it, to _her_ dying day, if the answer had been Yes.
Good-by to Moody and Isabel--whose history has closed with the closing
of the clergyman’s book on their wedding-day.
Good-by to Hardyman--who has sold his farm and his horses, and has begun
a new life among the famous fast trotters of America.
Good-by to Old Sharon--who, a martyr to his promise, brushed his hair
and washed his face in honor of Moody’s marriage; and catching a
severe cold as the necessary consequence, declared, in the intervals of
sneezing, that he would “never do it again.”
And last, not least, good-by to Tommie? No. The writer gave Tommie his
dinner not half an hour since, and is too fond of him to say good-by.
End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of My Lady’s Money, by Wilkie Collins
