We will not attempt to describe the scene that this meeting and reconciliation produced. Suffice it to say that he pressed her to his bosom and prayed for her forgiveness.
Walter had been deeply interested in the narrative related by Jack Frost. Before him stood his and Amy’s grand-mother encircled within the arms of his grand-father. Tears of joy ran down her cheeks, and her bosom swelled with emotion.
God is good! she exclaimed. Husband and child restored to me in a day. Come to my arms, boy you are the picture of your mother.
Walter embraced his grand-mother, but was too full of emotion to speak.
Friends, said Captain Davis, let us return to the object of this meeting. Does Walter return to America with me, or will he remain with you?
I have already answered and decided that question, replied Walter. Although we have found the Amy my grand-father thought I alluded to still there is another Amy, the daughter of Thomas and Mary Powers.
Is she living? asked Lady Wallace.
I do not positively know, replied Walter, but I think so.
He then gave the reason why he thought she was alive, and concluded by stating that he intended to return to America and prosecute his search until he was satisfied.
