"Look, look!" cried Judith, her eyes alight and her whole slender little figure relaxed. "Two trees are down!" "My dear child," he said slowly, "I kept our engagement secret on account of David. I have seen for a long time that he loves you, and knowing his fiery temper, I did not wish to provoke a quarrel by telling him that you had promised to be my wife.
