I am twelve years older than you, Margaret, and there is nothing very romantic or interesting either in myself or my worldly position. WHAT IS THAT CONDITION TELL ME THAT I HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY MY OWN EGOTISM I AM TWELVE YEARS OLDER THAN YOU MARGARET AND THERE IS NOTHING VERY ROMANTIC OR INTERESTING EITHER IN MYSELF OR MY WORLDLY POSITION
ing to give me a reason for her conduct, I am not so much a gentleman as to be able to smile politely, and request her to please herself." The cashier turned away from Margaret, and walked two at three times up and down the room. He was in a passion, but grief and indignation were so intermingled in his breast that he scarcely knew which was uppermost. But grief and love allied themselves presently, and together were much too strong for indignation. Clement Austin went back to the window; Margaret was standing where he had left her, but she had put on her bonnet and gloves, and was quite ready to leave the house. "Margaret," said Mr. Austin, trying to take her hand; but she drew herself away from him, almost as she had shrunk from him in the corridor on the previous night; "Margaret, once for all, listen to me. I love you, and I believe you love me. If this is true, no obstacle on earth shall part us so long as we live. There is only one condition upon which I will let you go this day.
