For Nearly A Week Longer, Neil Remained At Stoneleigh, Growing More And
More Undecided As To His Future Course, And More And More In Love With
Bessie, Whose Evident Depression Of Spirits After The Departure Of Jack
Trevellian And Grey Jerrold Had Driven Him Nearly Wild. All The Better
Part Of Neil's Nature Was In The Ascendant Now, And He Was Seriously
Debating The Question Whether It Were Not Wiser To Marry The Woman He
Loved, And Share His Poverty With Her, Than To Marry The Woman He Did
Not Love, Even Though She Had Ten Thousand A Year. Yes, It Was Better,
He Decided At Last, And One Day When Archie Had Gone To Bangor And He
Was Alone With Bessie, Who Sat By The Window Engaged In The Very
Unpoetical Occupation Of Darning Her Father's Socks, He Spoke His Mind.
