“I said no such thing,” interrupted Aunt Grenertsen. 'I am now going to repose in you a confidence which will severely prove the strength of your honour. But before I disclose a secret, hitherto so carefully concealed, and now reluctantly told, you must swear to preserve on this subject an eternal silence. If you doubt the steadiness of your discretion—now declare it, and save yourself from the infamy, and the fatal consequences, which may attend a breach of your oath;—if, on the contrary, you believe yourself capable of a strict integrity—now accept the terms, and receive the secret I offer.'

It was probably behind the wharf. Not a person was to be seen on the wharf now, either. It was so late that every one had gone home. “It’s a young city. But here we are.” “Besides, I’d like to see a ranch. I’ve never been to one since we came out here.
