I have no re- lation on whom I have the slightest dependence, except the best, the most amiable, the kindest, the most generous of men, — I mean my dear uncle. But I dare boldly take upon me to promise, Edith, that as he has been a father to me, so he will be a father to you ; and that he will no more consider whether you have fortune or not, than he would think of whether a woman were beautiful or not, when he was called upon to defend her." Edith paused for a moment while her mind ran on into... the future ; and she said at length, OF THE OLD SCHOOL. 109 *' But my father, Strafford — my father, I must not violate my duty towards him. I have a right, I know I have a right, to refuse to promise love where love cannot be given, — to refuse to sacrifice the whole peace of my after life, and to unite my fate to one who is hateful to me. But " *' But, dear Edith," replied Strafford earnestly — ''but do you not sacrifice the happiness of your life, — though it may seem vanity to say it, — if, for any caprice of his, you refuse to unite yourself to one who loves you so deeply, who will always love you and who will spend his life in the endeavour to make you happy ?
