Tempest and Sunshine

Page 104

mingling with his grief. But he had loved her too deeply, too truly, to

cherish an unkind feeling toward her long. Throwing himself upon the sofa,

and burying his face in his hands, he went back in fancy through all the

descended upon him and in his dreams he saw again his darling Fanny, not

false and faithless as he had feared, but arrayed in a spotless bridal

robe. She stood by his side as his own wedded wife. Was that dream ever

realized? We shall see.
