" I hate to be alone in the house. Alone." She had repeated the word, quite unconsciously; and now as she sat, she said it again — " alone." That is what this meant, this and similar advances which had followed poor Julia's beauty and her broken fortunes. It is what she would have been protected from as Mark Strong's wife; it was what came to her because she was alone. The man who had just descended the hill was gone clean out of her thoughts. Before her rose the plain, stern, quiet face that w...ould have meant everything in life to her clinging, voluble tenderness, " I wonder if he ever thinks about me — this way, I mean," she whispered in the dusk. " I wonder if he will ever know the truth about that night when I tried to warn him. How different life is from the way we think of it when we are young." And Julia sighed again. Then she laughed out suddenly and joyously, for Bob had slipped over the side fence of the gar- den and stolen upon her, dreaming there upon the porch. " Been breaking me up at the bargain-counters, I'll bet," he said, as he once more collected her forgotten parcels to carry them into the house for her.
