It was not the suddenness of his coming; it was the suddenness of her own heart, which leaped up with the feelings called out by his words. She went very white, and sat down on the ground as before. But she rose again immediately, and stood, with drooping, averted head. IT WAS NOT THE SUDDENNESS OF HIS COMING IT WAS THE SUDDENNESS OF HER OWN HEART WHICH LEAPED UP WITH THE FEELINGS CAUSED CALLED OUT BY HIS WORDS SHE WENT VERY WHITE AND SAT DOWN ON THE GROUND AS BEFORE BUT SHE ROSE AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AND STOOD WITH DROOPING AVERTED HEAD
er voice was very sweet, and it was a great pleasure to herself to let it go into music. Just as her jug was filled, she was startled by Frank's sudden appearance. She thought he was at Cambridge, and, from some cause or other, her face, usually so faint in color, became the most vivid scarlet. They were both too conscious to speak. Maggie stooped (murmuring some words of surprise) to take up her pitcher. "Don't go yet, Maggie," said he, putting his hand on hers to stop her; but, somehow, when that purpose was effected, he forgot to take it off again. "I have come all the way from Cambridge to see you. I could not bear suspense any longer. I grew so impatient for certainty of some kind, that I went up to town last night, in order to feel myself on my way to you, even though I knew I could not be here a bit earlier to-day for doing so. Maggie--dear Maggie! how you are trembling! Have I frightened you? Nancy told me you were here; but it was very thoughtless to come so suddenly upon you.
