Le pushed on impetuously, opened the little gate, and stepped up to read the inscription on the marble. He read it attentively, stopped, gazed at it, read it again, and then turned away in silence.
“What is it, Le?” anxiously inquired Abel Force.
“It is—read it, uncle,” replied the young man, breaking down and turning away.
Mr. Force entered the inclosure and read the inscription on the mausoleum:
Mary,
Beloved Wife of Angus Anglesea,
Died August 25, 18—,
Aged 49.
Mr. Force turned away without a word.
Wynnette entered the inclosure, read the inscription and came out in perfect silence.
