Be patient a little longer that we may not seem cold or selfish to the world. But I am the same loving Daisie. Pretty Annette was married long ago, and had made her wedding tour to Europe. When she returned she had much to tell of the glories of Lord Werter’s ancestral home, and of the month she had spent as his guest. “Oh, Daisie, how dearly he loves you, and what a happy bride you will be! Almost as happy as I am with Ray!” she added, with a fond glance at her adoring husband. Ray Dering was a changed man--purged of his worst fault by sorrow and suffering, and humbly grateful to Heaven that had permitted him to atone for the evil he had wrought. Lutie Fleming, too, was changed for the better. She had conquered her love for Lord Werter, realizing at last its hopelessness. And from hating Daisie Bell with the passion of a jealous rival, she had grown to love her as a sister. “Who could help from loving you, Daisie? You are so noble and good! No one but an angel could have forgiven me my sins,” she cried over and over. So when Lord Werter crossed the sea to claim his bonny bride, she was unselfishly glad that the long-parted lovers would be happy at last. All due respect had been paid the memory of her cousin, who had been dead two years, and Daisie had a right to her happiness. Even Aunt Alice, who was the most censorious of mortals, agreed that it was so, and she and Doctor Burns came from Gull Beach to the grand June wedding that took place from Mrs. Fleming’s home, where Daisie had lived the most of the time since Royall’s death, to please the repentant woman. Ah, what a meeting they had, those two fond lovers, once so cruelly parted, now united till death by the marriage vow! Sorrow had only intensified their love and made their trust in each other’s constancy more perfect. With hearts full of joy they clasped hands at God’s holy altar, and sailed away, leaving sorrowing hearts behind them, but sure of a glad welcome awaiting the bonny bride in her new home.
