So the weary days passed on, and fourteen days had come and gone, since I had seen the light, when I was told by Mrs. Yorke that Mr. SEephen Yoth wished to see me, I tried to follow her advice. I tried to still the anxious beating of my heart when I thought of my looks, and feared the might be changed. But it was for Geran- ’s sake that I trembled. Not that I dreaded any change in his love, however much I might bedisfigured. No, I judged his heart by mine. I knew I would love him only more dearly (if that were possible) should any sc~ cident or misfortune happen to him. But stillI wished to be fair for his sakeâ€"his “ fiir young wife," as he had fondly called me before we parted that evening when this cruel accident had occurred. “ Oh. no dear,” said Mrs. Yorke, “ you must not take fancies into your head. You must lie still, and get atron . that is the first thing to do, and afterwar s we can talk about your pr‘etty fags." But his manner had made me uneasy. “ Mrs. Yorke do you think I shall be changed in appearance 2'" I asked of his mother a. little later, “Gerard seemed afraid that I might -â€"â€"didn’t you think he seemed afraid 2" my br'girl l".

Then, about a. week after my tceldent (one they called it), Gourd and Mrs. Yorke came together no see me.

I fanciéfl it might just be fancy, I told myself, that no one in the house seemed in very good spirits. after we went to Mr. Yorke a. Mrs. Yorke was kind certainly, but not so cordial in her manner, I thought, as she used to be. Mr. Yorke was kinder than ever (if that were possible), and he alone tried to make jokes and to be merry. Gerard too was kindâ€"always kindâ€"but he was unsettled and silent. Thus passed the Monday and Tuesday, and then came Wednesdayâ€"the day before my wedding- J_AA day. But time passed on. By Mr. Stephen Yorke’s wish the marriage was to take place from his house ; and by his wish also, Aunt Sarah and myself went to stay at his house three days before the day on which the wed- dingwas to take place. \ e went on the Monday, and Thursday was to be the marriage-da . Everything was ready nowâ€"the bri a1 dresses, the bridecake, the presents, were all in the house, and no break had occurred in any of the arrangements. But in my waking hours I saw nothing. Gerard brought a famous oculist down with him from town, and my eyes were examined, and re-examined. But when I asked this entleman to tell me the truth, be only con- firmed Dr. Richard’s sentence. I was blind â€"I would never see Gerard’e face againâ€"I was condemned to live in darkness all my remaining days. I also felt. very restless. Oh ! if I czuld but have seen his face, I used to think-â€" aeen it once, only Once more ! I used to pray 15th I might see it again, and some~ times in my dreams I did see itâ€"the hand- some face that I had loved to look upon so well I me during the three weeks which passed before we were to be married. He was not in Dereham the whole time. He went up to town for a week, but both before he went, and after his return, I knew by his manner and his voice, that be was restless and disturbed. Gerard was very k'ina 568' gentle. Yes, let me write this downâ€"he was kind and gentle, and qevex: spoke an unkind word to It was fixed that we were to be married in three weeks from the time that Mr. Ste- phen Yorke had first spoken to me on the subject. The ceremony had to bee. very quiet one, by my express desire, for I felt that geiety and mirth would ill become a sightless bride. I can scarcely describe what I felt, and the emotions which I went through during these three weeks. I was sometimes hap y, for I loved Gerald so deeply, and at ot er times my terrible misfortune seemed to crush me to the earth. I could not see the presents which my kind friends lavished upon me ; the diamonds that Mr. Ste hen Yorke bought for me, nor the bridal ress that Gerard's mother chose. They told me of these things; they made me feel the satin and the lace, and never perhaps guess- ed whnt I felt as they did so. ” Not half ehcugh,” said Gerard. “ But do not let us speak of her. Uncle Stephen told me not to mention her, I believe. But he wishes us to be married before the assizes â€"so, my little Alice, you must fix the day." I did not, however, do so that night, nor indeed for some days after this interview with Gerard. But both Aunt Sarah and Mrs. Yorke seemed anxious that my mar- riage should take place immediately ; and at last, not unwillingly, but with a. strange unrest for the future in my heart, I gave my: consent.
