Next morning the Colonial Secretary and his companion, without any apparent reason, changed their plans and continued their journey. When the buggy was at the door and the latter came to bid his hostess farewell, he said,—
"I am very sorry that we are compelled to go, for I shall not have an opportunity now of meeting your husband, Mrs. Chichester. And as I leave for England in a month, it is improbable that we shall ever meet!"
To this speech Mrs. Chichester, so the Colonial Secretary thought, rather illogically said,—
"God bless you!"
