"Not with my good-will," said Esther, from whose bright eyes bright drops fell down, but she was looking steadfastly at Pitt.
"I am not a very rich man, but I have an abundant independence, without asking my father for anything. We can live as we like, Esther; you can keep your carriage if you choose; but for me, I would like nothing so well as to use it all for the Lord Christ."
"Oh Pitt! oh Pitt! so would I!"
"Then you will watch over me, and I will watch over you," said he, with a glad sealing of this compact; "for unless we are strange people we shall both need watching. And now come here and let me tell you about your house. I think you will like that."
There is no need to add any more. Except only the one fact, that on the day of Esther"s marriage Pitt brought her a bunch of red wallflowers, which he made fast himself to her dress. She must wear, he said, no other flower but that on her wedding-day.
THE END.
