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. 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
od man, as Margaret had just declared; but, unhappily, good men are apt to fly into passions as well as their inferiors in the scale of morality. Clement Austin threw the pretty little Genevese toy upon the floor, and ground it to atoms under the heel of his boot. "You are cruel and unjust, Mr. Austin," Margaret said. "I am a man, Miss Wilmot," Clement answered, bitterly; "and I have the feelings of a man. When the woman I have loved and believed in turns upon me, and coolly tells me that she means to break my heart, without so much as deigning 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.
