Alicia treated me with icy indifference , and I knew I should never be reinstated in her good graces . To my surprise , Roger took my part . `` Let the girl alone , '' he told Alicia . `` If she does n't love Sinclair , she was right in refusing him . I , for one , am glad that she has got enough truth and womanliness in her to keep her from selling herself . '' Then he came to the library where I was moping , and laid his hand on my head . `` Little girl , '' he said earnestly , `` no matter what anyone says to you , never marry a man for his money or for any other reason on earth except because you love him . '' This comforted me greatly , and I did not cry myself to sleep that night as usual . At last I got away . I had telegraphed to Jack : `` Am coming home Wednesday ; meet me at train , '' and I knew he would be there . How I longed to see him again -- dear , old , badly treated Jack . I got to Valleyfield just at dusk . It was a rainy evening , and everything was slush and fog and gloom . But away up I saw the home light at Thrush Hill , and Jack was waiting for me on the platform . `` Oh , Jack ! '' I said , clinging to him , regardless of appearances . `` Oh , I 'm so glad to be back . '' `` That 's right , Kitty . I knew you would n't forget us . How well you are looking ! ''
`` I suppose I ought XXXXX be looking wretched , '' I said penitently .
