"Fate is stronger than love, Clement," she said, mournfully, "I can never be your wife!" "Why not?" FATE IS STRONGER THAN LOVE CLEMENT SHE SAID MOURNFULLY I CAN NEVER BE YOUR WIFE WHY NOT
t I who am going mad; or am I dreaming all this?" "It is no dream, Mr. Austin. My letter would have only told you the truth. I am going away from here because I can never be your wife." "You can never be my wife! Why not, Margaret?" "I cannot tell you the reason." "But you _shall_ tell me, Margaret!" cried Clement, passionately. "I will accept no sentence such as this until I know the reason for pronouncing it; I will suffer no imaginary barrier to stand between you and me. There is some mystery, some mystification in all this, Margaret; some woman's fancy, which a few words of explanation would set at rest. Margaret, my pearl! do you think I will consent to lose you so lightly? My own dear love! do you know me so little as to think that I will part with you? My love is a stronger passion than you think, Madge; and the bondage you accepted when you promised to be my wife is a bondage that cannot so easily be shaken off!" Margaret watched her lover's face with melancholy, tearless eyes.
