I won't see her slighted and abused another day on account of a man who would have broken your heart if he had lived. Six months more would have showed you what everybody else knew. He was one of those men who couldn't trust himself, and so no woman was safe with him. Now, will you drop grieving over him, and do Elnora justice ?" Mrs.Comstock grasped the hoe tighter and turning she went down the walk, and started across the woods to the home of Elvira Carney. |
