Excerpt from Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles A twelvemonth passed over from the period of Mr. Halliburton's entrance - how swiftly for him and for Jane Tait they alone could tell. Not a word had been spoken to her by Mr. Halliburton that he might not have Spoken to her mother or her sister Margaret; not a look on Jane's part had been given by which he could infer that he was more to her than the rest of the world. And yet both were inwardly conscious of the feelings of the other; and when the twelvemonth had gone by, it had seemed to them but a span, for the love they bore each other. One evening in December, jane stood in the dining-room, waiting to make the tea, just as she had so waited that former evening. For any outward signs, you might have thought that not a Single hour had elapsed Since their first introduction - that it was the same evening as of old. It was Sloppy outside, it was bright within. The candles stood on the table unlighted, the fire blazed, the tea-tray was placed, and only jane was there. Mrs. Tait was upstairs with one of her frequent Sick-headaches, Margaret was with her, and the others had not come in.
