He did not turn aside from other maids, But loved their faces pure and faithful eyes. He may have thought, "One day I wed a maid, And make her mine;" but never came the maid, Or never came the hour: he walked alone. Meantime how fared the lady?

Twice he was on the point of returning to Hardy's rooms to thank him, confess, and consult; but the tide rolled back again. As the truth of the warning sank deeper and deeper into him, ...
