"Come William, answer up, my boy.",Billy nodded. "You see, Anse, I knowed that sooner or later you was bound to tell Ma, so I played safe, that's all."，A spasm of pain crossed the boy's face. "Like a man," he answered shortly.，"By thunder! did he now?"，"And what is that conviction, madam?" asked Sir William, from whose jolly round face fatigue had robbed much of its warm colour.The girl clapped her hands in joy at the story. "And you let him think he had the delirium tremens! Oh, Billy, is there anything you wouldn't do, I wonder?"

Now the unrest and uncertainty which had overshadowed Scotia for months had been miraculously lifted and in its place was rest and certainty. Sorrow and pity for the man who had been stricken with blindness gave place to joy and congratulation. Swifter-winged than the harbinger of sorrow, which sometimes falters in its flight as though loath to cause a jarring note deep within God's harmony, flashed the joyful news that Frank Stanhope had come into his inheritance and would see again. For a week following the wonderful news the people of the Settlement did little else than discuss it together.

You promise to get him off this time if he goes away an' leaves you by yourself.
