"I remember it; and I remember, too, who watched all that: do you?" he asks, his eyes fixed upon hers. Rodney's heart throbs with passionate relief, yet shame covers him; for he himself, one day, had given her that heather, tied, as he remembers, with that selfsame grass; and she, poor child, had kept it ever since.
