"My mother is so cruel," said Isabella in a low tone, "and I feel so ill," she continued, raising her hand to her loose hair. "Yes, yes; I must go home. But Maurice--my dear Maurice." A man that can't be happy with a woman who is willing to "fulfil his destiny" doesn't deserve to be. "As if I'd publish it on the housetops!" she cried in infinite disdain.
