CHAPTER X.
O'CONNELL VISITS ANGELA IN LONDON Nathaniel Kingsnorth stayed only, long enough in Ireland to permit of Angela's recovery.
He only went into the sick-room once.
When Angela saw him come into the room she turned her back on him and refused to speak to him.
For a moment a flush of pity for his young sister gave him a pang at his heart.

She looked so frail and worn, so desperately ill.

After all she was his sister, and again, had she not been punished?
He was willing to forget the foolhardy things she had done and the bitter things she had said.

Let bygones be bygones.

He realised that he had neglected her.
