Ranching For Sylvia Volume-554 by Harold Bindloss (best ebook pdf reader android TXT) 📖

Blood Crept Into George's Face As He Remembered Grant's Manner

During Their Last Interview.

 

"I Did Nothing That Could Have Led Him To Believe--"

 

"Oh, No!" Said Edgar.  "You Behaved With The Greatest Prudence; Perhaps

Frigid Insensibility Would Describe It Better.  Of Course This Is A

Deplorable Intrusion, But I Feel I Must Point Out That It May Not Be

Too Late Yet."

 

"I've Felt Greatly Tempted To Buy Sylvia's Farm," George Said

Thoughtfully.

 

"That's Good News.  If You're Wise, You'll Consider What I've Said."

 

George Did So After Edgar's Departure, Though The Idea Was Not New To

Him.  He Had Long Been Sensible Of Flora's Charm, And Had Now And Then

Felt In Canada That It Would Not Be Difficult To Love Her.  Since He

Had Learned The Truth About Sylvia, Flora Had Occupied A Prominent

Place In His Mind.  By Degrees A Desire For Her Had Grown Stronger; He

Had Seen How Admirable In Many Ways She Was, How Staunch And Fearless

And Upright.  Still, He Feared To Go Back; She Was Proud And Might

Scorn His Tardy Affection.  He Grew Disturbed And Occasionally Moody,

And Then One Day A Cablegram Was Delivered To Him.

 

"Believe You Had Better Come Back," It Read, And Was Signed By Helen

Taunton.

 

George Understood What It Was Intended To Convey, And Before Night He

Had Arranged To Purchase Sylvia's Farm.

 

Three Days Later He Was Crossing The Atlantic With An Eager And

Thankful Heart.
