There was no suspense, however, for Mr.Darlington said-- "Edwin, we none of us wish you to go away.

You know that I have urged every consideration in my power, and now I have consented to unite with Kate in renewing a request for you to remain.

Up to this time you have declined giving a satisfactory reason for your sudden resolution to leave; but a reason is due to us--to me in particular--and I now most earnestly conjure you to give it." The young man, at this became greatly agitated, but did not venture to make a reply.
"You are still silent on the subject," said Mr.Darlington.
"He will not go, father," said Kate, in a tender, appealing voice.
"I know he will not go.

We cannot let him go.

Kinder friends he will not find anywhere than he has here.
