I think God will bless you for being so devoted." "The expense will be doubled," said Edward.
"My dear boy! never mind the money.

I can get it advanced upon this cottage." "As for that, I'll advance it," said Mr.Buxton.
"Could we not," said Maggie, hesitating from her want of knowledge, "make over the furniture--papa's books, and what little plate we have, to Mr.
Buxton--something like pawning them--if he would advance the requisite money?
He, strange as it may seem, is the only person you can ask in this great strait." And so it was arranged, after some demur on Mr.Buxton's part.

But Maggie kept steadily to her point as soon as she found that it was attainable; and Mrs.Browne was equally inflexible, though from a different feeling.

She regarded Mr.Buxton as the cause of her son's banishment, and refused to accept of any favor from him.

If there had been time, indeed, she would have preferred obtaining the money in the same manner from any one else.
Edward brightened up a little when he heard the sum could be procured; he was almost indifferent how; and, strangely callous, as Maggie thought, he even proposed to draw up a legal form of assignment.
