will   pardon   my   candor�察  �dear   Flemming�察  �but   the   conviction   forces   itself 

upon me that as your leg grows stronger your head becomes weaker。 You 

ask my advice on a certain point。 I will give it。 In my opinion you could do 

nothing more unwise that to address a note to Miss Daw�察�thanking her for 

the flower。 It would�察�I am  sure�察�offend her delicacy beyond pardon。  She 

knows you only through me�察�you are to her an abstraction�察�a figure in a 

dreama   dream   from   which   the   faintest   shock   would   awaken   her。   Of 

course�察�if you enclose a note to me and insist on its delivery�察�I shall deliver 

it�察�but I advise you not to do so。 

     You   say   you   are   able�察  �with   the   aid   of   a   cane�察  �to   walk   about   your 

chamber�察  �and   that   you   purpose   to   come   to   The   Pines   the   instant   Dillon 

thinks you strong enough to stand the journey。 Again I advise you not to。 

Do   you   not   see   that�察  �every   hour   you   remain   away�察  �Marjorie's   glamour 

deepens�察�and your influence over her increases�拭�You will ruin everything 

by precipitancy。 Wait until you are entirely recovered�察�in any case�察�do not 

come without giving me warning。 I fear the effect of your abrupt advent 

hereunder the circumstances。 

     Miss Daw was evidently glad to see us back again�察�and gave me both

hands    in  the  frankest   way。  She   stopped   at  the  door   a  moment    this 

afternoon in the carriage�察�she had been over to Rivermouth for her pictures。 

Unluckily the photographer had spilt some acid on the plate�察�and she was 

obliged to give him another sitting。 I have an intuition that something is 

troubling Marjorie。 She had an abstracted air not usual with her。 However�察�

it may be only my fancy。 。 。 。 I end this�察�leaving several things unsaid�察�to 

accompany my father on one of those long walks which are now his chief 

medicineand mine� �

                                CHAPTER XI。 



                  EDWARD DELANY TO JOHN FLEMMING。 

                                     August 29�察�1972。 

     I write in great haste to tell you what has taken place here since my 

letter of last night。 I am in the utmost perplexity。 Only one thing is plain 

you must not dream of coming to The Pines。 Marjorie has told her father 

everything� �I saw her for a few minutes�察�an hour ago�察�in the garden�察�and�察�

as near as I could gather from her confused statement�察�the facts are these�此�

Lieutenant   Bradlythat's   the   naval   officer   stationed   at   Rivermouthhas 

been paying court to Miss Daw for some time past�察�but not so much to her 

liking as to that of the colonel�察�who it seems is an old fiend of the young 

gentleman's father。 Yesterday ��I knew she was in some trouble when she 

drove up to our gate�� the colonel spoke to Marjorie of Bradly urged his 

suit�察  �I  infer。  Marjorie     expressed     her   dislike   for  the   lieutenant    with 

characteristic frankness�察�and finally confessed to her fatherwell�察�I really 

do    not  know     what   she   confessed。    It  must   have    been   the  vaguest    of 

confessions�察�and must have sufficiently puzzled the colonel。 At any rate�察�it 

exasperated   him。   I   suppose   I   am   implicated   in   the   matter�察  �and   that   the 

colonel   feels   bitterly   towards   me。   I   do   not   see   why�此  �I   have   carried   no 

messages between   you   and   Miss   Daw�察  �I   have behaved   with   the   greatest 

discretion。 I can find no flaw anywhere in my proceeding。 I do not see that 

anybody has done anythingexcept the colonel himself。 

     It is probable�察�nevertheless�察�that the friendly relations between the two 

houses will be broken off。 ;A plague o' both your houses�察─�say you。 I will 

keep you informed�察�as well as I can�察�of what occurs over the way。 We shall 

remain here until the second week in September。 Stay where you are�察�or�察�at 

all   events�察  �do   not   dream   of   joining   me。。。。Colonel   Daw   is   sitting   on   the 

piazza looking rather wicked。 I have not seen Marjorie since I parted with 

her in the garden。

SQUARE�察�NEW YORK。 

     August 30�察�1872。 

     My Dear Doctor�此�If you have any influence over Flemming�察�I beg of 

you   to   exert   it   to   prevent   his   coming   to   this   place   at   present。   There   are 

circumstances�察�which I will explain to you before long�察�that make it of the 

first   importance     that  he  should   not   come    into  this  neighborhood。      His 

appearance here�察�I speak advisedly�察�would be disastrous to him。 In urging 

him to remain in New York�察�or to go to some inland resort�察�you will be 

doing him and me a real service。 Of course you will not mention my name 

in   this   connection。   You   know   me   well   enough�察  �my   dear   doctor�察  �to   be 

assured that�察�in begging your secret cooperation�察�I have reasons that will 

meet   your   entire   approval   when   they   are   made   plain   to   you。   We   shall 

return   to   town   on   the   15th   of   next   month�察  �and   my   first   duty   will   be   to 

present myself at your hospitable door and satisfy your curiosity�察�if I have 

excited it。 My father�察�I am glad to state�察�has so greatly improved that he 

can no longer be regarded as an invalid。 With great esteem�察�I am�察�etc。�察�etc。

                EDWARD DELANEY TO JOHN FLEMMING。 

                                   August 31�察�1872。 

    Your letter�察�announcing your mad determination to come here�察�has just 

reached me。 I beseech you to reflect a moment。 The step would be fatal to 

your interests and hers。 You would furnish just cause for irritation to R。 W。 

D。�察�and�察�though he loves Marjorie devotedly�察�he is capable of going to any 

lengths if opposed。 You would not like�察�I am convinced�察�to be the means of 

causing   him  to   treat   her   with   severity。  That   would   be   the   result   of   your 

presence at The Pines at this juncture。 I am annoyed to be obliged to point 

out these things to you。 We are on very delicate ground�察�Jack�察�the situation 

is critical�察�and the slightest mistake in a move would cost us the game。 If 

you consider it worth the winning�察�be patient。 Trust a little to my sagacity。 

Wait and see what happens。 Moreover�察�I understand from Dillon that you 

are in no condition to take so long a journey。 He thinks the air of the coast 

would be the worst thing possible for you�察�that you ought to go inland�察�if 

anywhere。 Be advised by me。 Be advised by Dillon。

    1。 ´ TO EDWARD DELANEY。 

    Letter received。 Dillon be hanged。 I think I ought to be on the ground。 

J。 F。 

    2。 ´ TO JOHN FLEMMING。 

    Stay   where   you   are。   You   would   only   complicated   matters。   Do   not 

move until you hear from me。 E。 D。 

    3。 ´ TO EDWARD DELANEY。 

    My being at The Pines could be kept secret。 I must see her。 J。 F。 

    4。 ´ TO JOHN FLEMMING。 

    Do not think of it。 It would be useless。 R。 W。 D。 has locked M。 in her 

room。 You would not be able to effect and interview。 E。 D。 

    5。 ´ TO EDWARD DELANEY。 

    Locked her in her room。 Good God。 That settles the question。 I shall 

leave by the twelve´fifteen express。 J。 F。

                                     THE ARRIVAL。 

     On   the   second   day  of   September�察 �1872�察 �as   the down   express�察 �due   at 

3。40�察�left the station at Hampton�察�a young man�察�leaning on the shoulder of 

a servant�察�whom he addressed as Watkins�察�stepped from the platform into a 

hack�察�and requested to be driven to ;The Pines。; On arriving at the gate of 

a   modest    farm´house�察     �a  few   miles   from   the   station�察 �the   young    man 

descended   with   difficulty   from   the   carriage�察  �and�察  �casting   a   hasty   glance 

across    the   road�察 �seemed     much    impressed     by   some    peculiarity   in  the 

landscape。 Again leaning on the shoulder of the person Watkins�察�he walked 

to the door of the farm´house and inquired for Mr。 Edward Delaney。  He 

was informed by the aged man who answered his knock�察�that Mr。 Edward 

Delaney had gone to Boston the day before�察�but that Mr。 Jonas   Delaney 

was   within。 This   information   did   not   appear   satisfactory  to   the   stranger�察�

who inquired if Mr。 Edward Delaney had left any message for Mr。 John 

Flemming。 There   was   a   letter   for   Mr。   Flemming   if   he   were   that   person。 

After a brief absence the aged man reappeared with a Letter。
