Thou hast not rebuked, nor reproached me, But sadly and silently wept, And each wound that to try thee I sent thee, Thou took'st to thy heart to be kept.
C. CAMPBELL.
Six months from the point at which we left our story, a party of gentlemen, who on their way to the Highland Moors, had stopped in Edinburgh for the night, strolled together in the public gardens of the place.
They found little company there besides children and nurse-maids at that time, so that a young lady of quiet, but distinguished appearance, who came towards them and turned down one of the shady walks, with a group of little companions followed by their attendant, more particularly attracted the attention of the strangers.
What a remarkably pretty, lady-like looking girl, that is; how well she walks, said one.
So Trevor seems to think, said another, for their friend had lingered behind, and now stood apparently half irresolute, looking in the direction where the young lady had disappeared.
Come on, don't let us be in his way, and then laughing, they pursued their walk.
Trevor seemed not disinclined to profit by their consideration—he hesitated no longer, but disappeared at once within the shaded path.
