With a resolve as sudden as brave, and in her present state of mind to be brave at all it must needs be sudden, Agatha determined to put herself and her troubles altogether aside, and think only of those whom she loved.
"Yes, my child, he will come back. Absence breaks slender ties, but it rivets strong ones. Have faith in him. People like him, if they once love,http://www.coachoutletbag.info, love always. He will come back."
"Think how much we love those that are away. Once perhaps we used to vex and slight them and be cross with them, but now we carry them in our hearts always. We forget everything bitter, and remember only the sweet; how good they were, and how dearly we loved them. Our thoughts and prayers follow them continually, flying over and about them like wandering angels, that must be laden with good. And all this loving--all this waiting--all this praying, year after year--I mean day after day"--she suddenly turned to Agatha. "Be content,Louis Vuitton Store, my child. He will come back."
"Because"--Miss Valery spoke after a moment's pause, very steadfastly--"Because I have reasons for so doing. My old friend, Mr. Harper, has a few strong prejudices, some of them to the hurt of his brother, and I wish to talk to him myself before Mr. Brian Harper comes home."

"Its not dreary to me; I always loved Kingcombe Holm; and I must pay it one last visit before--before winter."
There was a great light in Miss Valery's countenance, which irresistibly attracted Agatha. She dried her eyes,Polo Shirts, forgot her own personal cares,Louis Vuitton Factory, and listened to the comforter.
"Come,Discount Polo Shirts," she said, and rose up strong in the courage of self-denial. "We will indulge in no more dreariness; it is not good for you, and I won't allow it, my patient. You shall be patient, in every sense,Gucci Bags, for a little while longer,http://www.louisvuittonmw.com, and then we'll all be very happy--all,Coach Store, I say, next year."
"In three weeks, most likely."
Agatha made no reply. She was not thinking of herself just then. She was thinking of the life, compared to which her own nineteen commonplace years sank into nothingness; of the love beside which that feeling she had so called, looked mean and poor; of the patient endurance--what was her patience? And yet she had fancied that never was woman so tried as Agatha Harper.
With this declaration she made ready to carry her friend off to Kingcombe--to her own little house--where she was bent on detaining Anne prisoner. Miss Valery declared herself quite willing to be thus bound for a day or two, until she was strong enough to go to Kingcombe Holm.
Anne made no other remark, nor did Agatha. In a short time they were driving homeward along the margin of the bay. That
While Miss Valery said this name, Agatha had carefully bent her eyes seaward. In answering, her colour rose--her manner was more troubled and hesitating by far than that of her companion.
"Poor little thing,Burberry Handbags, she wants taking care of as much as anybody. When will her husband come home?"
"Never--never!" cried Agatha, hardly knowing what she said. "I shall lose him--you--all."
"But there is plenty of time," returned Agatha, hastily. "Why go just now?"
gave way. Anne bent down from her serenity to notice and soothe the wayward child,Discount Coach Handbags.
"Go, then. I will not hinder you. Nobody can feel more interest than I do in Uncle Brian. When do you think he will be here?"
Miss Valery smiled--the composed smile of one who ascending a mountain, sees the lowland mazes around laid out distinct and clear, and looks over them to their ending.
