Excerpt: ...schooling himself by degrees to this fortuitous resemblance. It was painful, but it was inevitable, and he would get used to it in time. "Perhaps," he mused, "if I had never had that adventure with the poor insane girl, I might not have looked twice at Miss Denham when we met-and loved her. It was the poor little queen who shaped my destiny, and I oughtn't to be ungrateful." He determined to tell the story to Miss Ruth some time when a fitting occasion offered.

"No, I have dropped that idea, too. Will Mr. Denham remain here any time?" "Probably not long." "What is to become of me after you are gone!" exclaimed Lynde.
