The fond kiss which sealed their vows was more precious than the mines of Golconda.

Truly did Guy Trevelyan idolize the beautiful woman who had now surrendered her heart to his keeping.
Did Lady Rosamond tell _her_ secret to her accepted lover?
Did she also confess the love which had been cherished towards the boyish lieutenant when he became almost a daily visitor at Government House--the maddening thoughts, that almost crushed her out of existence--the spirit of rebellion against the designs of her loved parents--her resolution made to Lady Douglas--her bitter struggle between duty and feeling--strength of character--victory over self--devotion to her husband?
This is _our_ secret, and we will never reveal it.

The reader must be content to know that Captain Trevelyan was made happy beyond expectation by whatever revelation or by what answer.

Truly they were "Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one." Let us assume the garb of the seer and step stealthily over the distance dividing the future, and gently draw aside the veil! What meets our gaze?
A beautiful picture.

The scene is now in Trevelyan Hall, where a reception is being held to welcome the beautiful bride of Captain Trevelyan--Lady Rosamond Trevelyan.
