"Nor I," said Isabella. "The major is a kind man, and he wants to see me happy. He is--" "Yes, which was waiting in the winding lane at the foot of your grounds.

"I don't know myself. I wandered in a desultory fashion through the wood on leaving you, not caring to return home just then, and I was thinking of—of you, of course—when I stumbled against something (they tell me it was a gnarled root that had thrust itself above ground), and then there was a report, and a sharp pang; and that was all.
