s the triumph that I desire. It does not
often happen to a lawyer to have had such a chance as this, and I
fancy that it could not have come in the way of a man who would have
enjoyed it more than I do." Then at last, after lingering about the
house, he bade her farewell. "God bless you, and make you happy
here,--you and your husband. If you will take my advice you will
entail the property. You, no doubt, will have children, and will take
care that in due course it shall go to the eldest boy. There can be
no doubt as to the wisdom of that. But you see what terrible misery
may be occasioned by not allowing those who are to come after you to
know what it is they are to expect."

For a few weeks Isabel remained alone at Llanfeare, during which all
the tenants came to call upon her, as did many of the neighbouring
gentry.

"I know'd it," said young Cantor, clenching his fist almost in her
face. "I was that sure of it I couldn't hardly hold myself. To think
of his leaving it in a book of sermons!"

Then, after the days were past during which it was thought well that
she should remain at Llanfeare to give orders, and sign papers, and
make herself by very contact with her own property its mistress and
owner, her father came for her and took her back to Hereford. Then
she had incumbent upon her the other duty of surrendering herself
and all that she possessed to another. As any little interest which
this tale may possess has come rather from the heroine's material
interests than from her love,--as it has not been, so to say, a love
story,--the reader need not follow the happy pair absolutely to the
altar. But it may be said, in anticipation of the future, that in due
time an eldest son was born, that Llanfeare was entailed upon him
and his son, and that he was so christened as to have his somewhat
grandiloquent name inscribed as William Apjohn Owen Indefer Jones.
