In the morning his delirium left him, and his will resumed its sway.  He went down, and out into the green roads, and listened to the singing of the birds; and then out to the cliff-path, and there he found Miss Warfield sitting as if she knew that he would come.  He watched her pure face while she spoke, and her gray eyes:  the clear light of the morning was in them, and on the gleaming sea beyond.

“You must go,” said she.

“Yes,” he said, and that was all.  He took her hand for one moment, and lifted it lightly to his lips; then he turned and took the path across the fields.  When he got to the first stile, he looked around.  She was still sitting there, turned toward him.  He lifted his hat, and held it for a second or two; then he turned the corner of the hedge and went down to the town.

Thus it happened that this story, which began sadly, with an epitaph, may end with wedding bells: 

MARRIED. At King’s Chapel, by the Rev. Dr. A——­, the 21st of September, Charles Austin Pinckney to Emily, daughter of the late James Austin.
