Margaret bowed her head, and moved slowly towards the door. "You are going—Miss Wilmot!" "Yes, I am going. Farewell, Mr. Austin." Clement caught the retreating girl by her wrist. MARGARET BOWED HER HEAD AND MOVED SLOWLY TOWARDS THE DOOR YOU ARE GOING MISS WILMOT YES I AM GOING FAREWELL MISTER AUSTIN CLEMENT CAUGHT THE RETREATING GIRL BY HER WRIST
 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." "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. Tell me that you do not love me. I am a proud man, I will not sue _in formâ pauperis_. If you do not love me, Margaret, you are free to go.
