Lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour." "Is there no hope?" asks Geoffrey, gravely. During the past month he has grown singularly domestic, and fond of home and its associations.

Ashamed of his vehemence, he stoops, and, raising the will from the ground, presents it to her courteously. "Take it: it is yours," he says.
