But I 've always felt it was true . Margaret did n't think so , though . She believed that Ronald Fraser had deceived her , knowing all the time that he could n't make her his lawful wife . She turned against him and hated him just as much as she had loved him before . `` Ronald Fraser went away with his real wife , and in less than a year word came of his death . They said he just died of a broken heart , nothing more nor less . `` Margaret came home to her father 's house . From the day that she went over its threshold , she never came out until she was carried out in her coffin three years ago . Not a soul outside of her own family ever saw her again . I went to see her , but Janet told me she would n't see me . It was foolish of Margaret to act so . She had n't done anything real wrong ; and everybody was sorry for her and would have helped her all they could . But I reckon pity cut her as deep as blame could have done , and deeper , because you see , Master , she was so proud she could n't bear it . `` They say her father was hard on her , too ; and that was unjust if it was true . Janet and Thomas felt the disgrace , too . The people that had been in the habit of going to the Gordon place soon stopped going , for they could see they were not welcome . `` Old James Gordon died that winter . He never held his head up again after the scandal . He had been an elder in the church , but he handed in his resignation right away and nobody could persuade him to withdraw it . `` Kilmeny was born in the spring , but nobody ever saw her , except the minister who baptized her .
She was never taken to church or sent XXXXX school .
