Excerpt from Mary Myles, Vol. 2 of 2: A Study That short-lived love affair, so recently torn up by the very roots, must needs leave some poignant memories in the heart whence it has been so ruthlessly plucked, soliloquized Mrs. Hazelhurst, with some touch of sympathetic sentiment in her heart; it must take a little time to get over it altogether, although it was so absurd in both of them. They'll find out before very long that it was really an absurd business; and then their wounds will heal fast enough, as I do not think that there are any two persons in the world who would more dislike the imputation of silliness than Miss Myles and my nephew. So thought Mrs. Hazel hurst as she ordered the carriage to be in waiting, and without any comment quietly bade Helen prepare to accompany her. It is the only courtesy that I can show her; silence and not words will better suit her present mood, and Mrs. Hazelhurst sighed involuntarily, almost dreading the approach ing farewell.
