I learned afterward that for some time before the child took the fever she had been ailing and ill.
It was such a strange life.

Thinking over it afterward, it seemed to me more like romance than reality.
A year passed before the dream of my life was fulfilled and Agatha came to Crown Anstey.

I need not to say how happy we were.
Lady Trevelyan is the most beloved and popular lady in the county; our children are growing up good and happy; we have not a care or trouble in the world, and the sharpest pain I have is the memory of Coralie.
