CHAPTER IV - ESTHER ON THE FILIAL RELATION

cross roads; had there been any one to see them but the birds
and summer insects, it would have been remarked that they met
after a different fashion from the day before. Dick took her
in his arms, and their lips were set together for a long

'Esther!' he said; you should have heard his voice!
'Dick!' said she.
