Six years ago the twins were born , and they are dear , bright little lads , but they are very small yet , so Mother has really nobody but me . I know she would consent to let me stay here , because she would think it best for me , but it would n't be really best for me ; it could n't be best for a girl to do what was n't right . I love you , Uncle Paul , and I love Greenwood , and I want to stay so much , but I can not . I have thought it all over and I must go back to Mother . '' Uncle Paul did not say one word . He turned his back on Worth and walked the full length of the box alley twice . Worth watched him wistfully . Was he very angry ? Would he forgive her ? `` You are an Ingelow , Worth , '' he said when he came back . That was all , but Worth understood that her decision was not to cause any estrangement between them . A month later Worth 's last day at the Grange came . She was to leave for the West the next morning . They were all out in Grandfather Ingelow 's arcade , Uncle George and Aunt Charlotte and Aunt Ellen and Worth , enjoying the ripe mellow sunshine of the October day , when Paul Ingelow came up the slope . Worth went to meet him with outstretched hands . He took them both in his and looked at her very gravely . `` I have not come to say goodbye , Worth . I will not say it . You are coming back to me . '' Worth shook her brown head sadly .
`` Oh , I can not , Uncle XXXXX .
