you； Jack； too well to mar your future by linking it with my own。
I always loved you； dear Jack； even when I seemed least worthy of
you。 That is gone now。 But I had a dream lately； Jack； a foolish
woman's dreamthat you might find what I lacked in HER；〃 and she
glanced lovingly at the sleeping girl at her side； 〃that you might
love her as you have loved me。 But even that is not to be； Jack；
is it？〃 and she glanced wistfully in his face。 Jack pressed her
hand； but did not speak。 After a few moments' silence； she again
said： 〃Perhaps you are right in your choice。 She is a goodhearted
girl； Jackbut a little bold。〃
And with this last flicker of foolish； weak humanity in her
struggling spirit； she spoke no more。 When they came to her a
moment later； a tiny bird that had lit upon her breast flew away；
and the hand that they lifted from Carry's head fell lifeless at
her side。
