That night Charlotte Willis mysteriously disap- peared from the mansion at Laurel Hill, leaving the following note on her father's dressing table: « My DEAR Father:— " I have learned the extremity of your anger against Edward. Your vindictive cruelty has cast him friend- less upon the world, and I fly to share his fortune. I must ask your forgiveness for the step I am about to take. I am betrothed to Edward by vows that are registered in Heaven. — Alas! it is his poverty alone that renders him ...so hateful to you — for once you thought there was no one like Edward. God bless you, my dear father, and make you happy here and hereafter. " Your still afiectionate daughter, " Charlotte. " When Colonel Willis read this note, the morning after her departure, the violence of his rage was un- bounded. Isabel was calm, and so far from being dis- turbed or surprised at her sister's absence, she wore a smile of peculiar meaning, as one after another the servants rode into the court, bringing no tidings of the fugitive, that betrayed more knowledge of Charlotte's movements than she would have been willing her fa- ther should know.
