`` I have some news for you , Lynde , '' Alan said . `` Has he -- has he come to himself ? '' she whispered . `` Yes , he has come to himself . Lynde , he is not Frank Harmon -- he is his twin brother . He says Frank Harmon was killed three years ago in the China seas . '' For a moment Lynde 's great grey eyes stared into Alan 's , questioning . Then , as the truth seized on her comprehension , she sat down on the boulder and put her hands over her face without a word . Alan walked down to the water 's edge to give her time to recover herself . When he came back he took her hands and said quietly , `` Lynde , do you realize what this means for us -- for us ? You are free -- free to love me -- to be my wife . '' Lynde shook her head . `` Oh , that ca n't be . I am not fit to be your wife . '' `` Do n't talk nonsense , dear , '' he smiled . `` It is n't nonsense . You are a minister and it would ruin you to marry a girl like me . Think what the Rexton people would say of it . '' `` Rexton is n't the world , dearest . Last week I had a letter from home asking me to go to a church there .
I did not think of accepting then -- now I will go -- we will both go -- and a new life will begin XXXXX you , clear of the shadows of the old . ''
