It seemed harsh and ungenerous to tell him that I wished to go; that the great world lay beyond the confines of Glenarm for me to conquer; that I had lost as well as gained by those few months at Glenarm House, and wished to go away. It was not the mystery, now fathomed, nor the struggle, now ended, that was uppermost In my mind and heart, but memories of a girl who had mocked me with delicious girlish laughter, who had lured me away from the Indiana woodlands that I might see her transformed Into another, more charming, being, only to shatter my faith at the end. It was a comfort to know that Pickering, trapped and defeated, was not to benefit by the bold trick she had helped him play upon me.
