'I went in, and there sat Jessie, working at the table. She looked
towards me, with a smile that was tender and arch upon her lips. I
passed my hands across my eyes, scarcely believing the evidence of
my senses.

'It is true, Chris,' she said, rising; 'are you not glad to see me?'

I looked round for uncle Bryan and my mother; they were not in
the room, and the door was closed behind me. Then I understood it
all.

'Have you come back for good, Jessie?' I asked.

'I can't hear you,' she replied, 'you are so far away!'

I stepped close to her side, and my arm stole round her waist;
she sighed happily.

'Have I come back for good?' she repeated. 'That is for you to
decide, Chris.'

'You are in earnest with me, Jessie?'

She smiled. 'I saw you yesterday,' she said.

'Where?'

'When you came to see your uncle Bryan; I have been living in
the same house, on the first floor, Chris, where the finest flowers
are. Do you begin to understand?'

'Tell me more, Jessie. Did mother know you were living there?'

'Yes, and Josey West, and Turk also. Nearly all that money Turk
borrowed of you was for me to pay what Mr. Rackstraw said I owed
him. Would you have lent it to him if you had known?'
'You must answer that question for me, Jessie,' I said, still
uncertain of the happiness that was in store for me.

We were standing by the mantelshelf, on which lay a little packet


in brown paper. Jessie took it in her hand.

'Mother told me to give you this, Chris. Stay, though; what is that
round your neck?'

'The ribbon you gave me, Jessie.'

'And the locket, where is that?'

'It is here, Jessie.' I showed it to her; the earnest look that was
struggling to her eyes came into them fully.

'You did not cast me quite away, then? Have you always worn it,
Chris?'

'Always, Jessie.'

'I am glad, I am glad,' she murmured, and presently said, 'Here is


your packet, Chris.'

I opened it, and found the watch and the ivory brooch I had
intended to give Jessie on her birthday.

'Do you know what is in this packet, Jessie?'

'No, Chris.'

I took the trinkets out of the paper:

'I bought them as a birthday present for you, Jessie. Look at what
is engraved inside the watch, and if you can accept it, you will make
me very happy.'
She opened the case and read: 'From Chris to Jessie, on her
eighteenth birthday. With undying love.' Her eyes were fixed upon
the inscription for a much longer time than was necessary for the
reading and understanding of the words. When she raised them,
tears were glistening in them.

'Will you fasten it for me, Chris?' she said, in a low soft tone.

With an ineffable feeling of happiness I placed the slender chain


about her neck, and while my arms were round her, she raised her
face to mine, and I kissed her.
A few minutes later, while we were still alone, Jessie said,

'You know why I left home on my birthday, Chris?'

'I know all, Jessie.'

'And yet not quite all, I think. I shall have no secrets from you,
Chris, not one. I believe I should have left soon afterwards, even if it
had not been for my mother's letter, and for the discovery that uncle
Bryan was my father.'

'For what reason, Jessie?'

'You do not suspect, then?'

'I have a dim suspicion, dear, but I would prefer you to tell me.'

'Chris,' she said, very seriously, 'you loved me too much.'

'That could not be, Jessie.'

'It could and can be. In your love for me you forgot some one
else, a thousand million times better than I am, Chris.'

'My mother?'

'Your mother. I reproached myself every day and every night for
being the cause of it. I was afraid that your attachment to that
dearest angel on earth was growing weaker and weaker, and I knew
that I was the cause of it. I saw the pain, the unutterable pain, my
dear, that your neglect of your mother was causing her tender heart,
and I was continually striving to discover in what way you could be
'brought to learn how much more pure and beautiful and sacred her
love was than mine. If things had gone on in the same way, I should
have run away as it was, Chris, so that you might have been forced
to seek for comfort in the shelter of her love. Do you understand
me, my dear? Your love for me made you colour-blind.'

How much dearer this confession made Jessie to me I need not


describe.

'I see things in a better light now, my darling,' I said humbly; 'I
am not colour-blind now.'

Uncle Bryan and my mother would not have disturbed us all the
night if we had not called to them to come in and share our
happiness.

Those who understand the strength and purity of love can


understand by what links of tender feeling we were henceforward
bound to one another--sacred links which death itself will be
powerless to sever.

Jessie sat on a stool at her father's feet; my mother and I sat


close to them, my hand on Jessie's neck, clasped in one of hers.

It must have been two o'clock in the morning, and we were still
talking, unconscious of the hour, when a great thumping was heard
at the street-door. I jumped to my feet, and opened the door, and
Josey West ran in.

'I couldn't help it, my dears,' she cried; 'I know I have no
business here, but I should have done something desperate if I
hadn't run round to see how you were all getting on. I went to bed,
but as I'm a living woman I couldn't sleep a wink; so I got out of
bed and dressed myself, and thought, I'll just see if there's a light in
the shop. And when I came and saw the light, how could I help
knocking? Well, Chris, how do you like the second act? Better than
the first? I do believe, as the speechmakers say, this is the happiest
day of my life.'

And the queer good little woman fell to crying and kissing us.
I am afraid you would scarcely believe me if I were to tell you at
what time we went to bed that morning.

CHAPTER LI.

MY MOTHER'S BIBLE.

I resume my pen after an interval of two years.

Within a few weeks after the events described in the last chapter
Jessie and I were married. There were six bridesmaids, Josey and
Florry West, and their four little sisters. On that day my mother gave
uncle Bryan a Bible.

Josey is sole proprietor of the grocer's shop, and the business has
wonderfully improved. She is really making and saving money. This
of course is known, and has attracted the attention of more than
one young man; I say more than one, for there is one in particular
who seems to consider that if he were a grocer he would be in his
proper groove. His chance, however, of getting into that groove does
not appear to be a good one.

'I know what he's casting sheep's eyes at,' says Josey, tossing her
head; I see him reckoning up the stock every time he comes into the
shop.'

She does not openly discourage him; she makes him spend all his
pocket-money in candied lemon-peel and uncle Bryan's medicines,
which are having an immense sale.
'You are injuring that young man's constitution, Josey,' I say.

'All the better,' she replies; 'with his present constitution, he'll
never suit Josey West.'

'Don't you ever intend to marry, Josey?'

'I haven't quite made up my mind, Chris; but if I don't die an old
maid I shall be very much surprised.'

Turk is doing well, but I have lately discerned in him an itching to


go on the stage again. He has purchased a splendid wardrobe that
belonged to a famous First Villain, and he is reading a manuscript
play by a new author with a character in it which he says would take
all London by storm.

'No one can play that character but Turk West,' says old Mac, who
is egging him on.

'It would be a thousand pities,' says Turk, 'not to play the piece.
It's a work of genius--original, Chris, my boy, original.' And then he
adds musingly, 'I've a good mind to; I've a good mind to. The
situations are tremendous. New blood, Chris, that's what's wanted--
new blood.'

Florry is just married. Her husband is a very elegant young man,


and plays walking gentlemen. Every year babies are being
introduced into the world by the married Wests. The number of
children in that family is something amazing, and aunt Josey is
idolised by all of them.

Uncle Bryan lives with us. I am prospering, and our home is a


very happy one. How could it be otherwise with two such women as
my mother and Jessie to brighten and bless it! A great grief,
however, came to us lately.
Our union was blessed by a child--a sweet beautiful little girl,
whose presence was a new happiness to us. I have not the power to
describe the emotion which filled my heart when this treasure was
placed in my arms; Jessie's joy and my mother's may be imagined,
but it would be difficult to realise the depth of uncle Bryan's feelings
towards the darling. We named her Frances, after Jessie's mother; it
was uncle Bryan's wish. His love for the dear little creature became a
worship; he was restless and unhappy if a waking hour passed
without his seeing her. He nursed her, and prattled to her, and
rocked her cradle, and would sit for hours by her side while she was
sleeping. She grew to love him, and her beautiful eyes would dilate,
and she would wave her dimpled arms when he held out his to her.
When she was ten months old, and just when she began to lisp the
word so dear to a mother's ear, she was taken from us.

'Ah, how well I remember the sad days that followed! This may
sound strange, when you know that a very few months have passed
since our bereavement, but it expresses my feeling. Our darling
seemed, as it were, to sink into the past, and I saw her ever
afterwards, as one in a deep pit looks upwards in the daylight to the
heavens and sees a star there. When I am an old man, the memory
of this dear child will shine with a clear light among a forest of
unremembered days. On the night before she was buried, I walked
to the room where she lay in her coffin. I opened the door softly,
and saw uncle Bryan on his knees by the coffin's side; his hands
were clasped, and on the body of our darling lay an open book from
which he was reading. It was the Bible which my mother had given
him on our wedding-day.

Farewell.

forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for


the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3,
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the
Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a
Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH
1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK
OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL
NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF
YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you


discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving
it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or
entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide
a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied


warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation,


the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation,
anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with

including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the
following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or
any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission


of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,


Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation

Section 5. General Information About


Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
