natures that are elevated and purified by sorrow. I cannot tell Kawasaki Frontale Dresy what is best for us, dear. I cannot pretend to Isco Fotbalové Dres guess what this life was meant to be.’
‘There is something in perfect happiness that frightens one, Mary. It seems Mexico Dresy as if it could not last. If it could, if I dared believe in it, I should think that my life was going to be quite happy.’
‘Why should it be otherwise, my dear Milly? Matt Beleskey Tröja I don’t think you have ever known much sorrow.’
‘Not since Chicago Blackhawks my mother died — and I was only a child then — but that old pain has never quite gone out of my heart; and papa’s marriage has been a greater grief to me than you would believe, Mary. This house Maillot Arsenal has never seemed to be really my home since then. No, dear, it is a new life that is dawning for me — and O, such a bright one!’
She put her arms round my neck, and hid her face upon my shoulder.
‘Can you guess what Angus Egerton said to me to-day?’ she asked, in a low tremulous voice.
‘Was it something very wonderful, dear — or something as old as the world we live in?’
‘Not old to me, Mary — new and wonderful beyond all measure. I did not think he cared for me — I had never dared to hope; for I have liked him a little for a long time, dear, though I don’t suppose you ever thought so.’
‘My dear girl, I have known it from the very beginning. There is nothing in the world more transparent than your thoughts about Angus Egerton have been to me.’

‘Do you think Mr. Darrell will ever consent to such a marriage, Milly?’ I asked gravely.
‘Why should he not? He cannot go on Kurtka Peuterey Kobiety Nowy Styl thinking badly of Angus when every one else thinks so well of him. You must Maillot Allemagne have seen how he has softened towards him since they met. Mr. Egerton’s old family and position are quite an equivalent for my money, whatever that may be. O Mary, I don’t think papa can refuse his consent.’
‘I am rather doubtful about that, Milly. It’s one thing to like Mr. Egerton very well as a visitor — quite another to accept him as a son-in-law. Frankly, my dearest, I fear your father will be against the match.’
‘Mary,’ cried Milly reproachfully, ‘I can see what it is — you are prejudiced against Mr. Egerton.’
‘I am only anxious for your welfare, darling. I like Mr. Egerton very much. It is difficult for any one to avoid liking him. But I confess that I cannot bring myself to put entire trust in him.’
‘Why not?’
