t not be willing to listen to."
"I see! And oh! how rich and bright the way on ahead looks! Just when I
thought the clouds were crushing me, they opened and I saw----"
"What, Priscilla?"
"You!"
"And now," Travers got upon his feet and drew her up; "do you know what
is going to happen?"
"Can anything more happen to-day?"
"We are going to Master Farwell's, you and I. We are going to take him
with us to the little chapel down the Channel; there we'll leave
Priscilla Glenn, and, in her place, bring Priscilla Travers forth."
The colour rose to the thin, radiant face.
"And may we take John Boswell, too?"
"Boswell? Is he here?"
"Yes, with my Master Farwell."
Travers rapidly put loose ends of the past together, then exclaimed:
"God bless him; God bless Master Farwell!"
"I only know"--Priscilla's eyes were dim--"I only know--they are good
men--both!"
"Yes, both! And to-night," Travers came back to the present, "I will take
my wife away with me on the steamer."
"A poor, vagabond wife. Nothing but a heart full of love--as baggage."
"The Garden is a rich place, my love."
"And one can get so much for so little there." Priscilla meant to hold to
her dear old joke.
"And so little--for so much!"
"That's not the language of the Garden, good man!"
It was so easy to play, now that Travers was leading the way from the
wrecked shrine.
"You are right, my girl!" Then Travers stopped and faced her, his eyes
glowing with love and courage. "And to-morrow--is not yet touched!" he
said.
