It was no wonder that Seth loved Norah. She was by all odds the prettiest girl in the country, and she had such a sympathetic, pretty way about her that every man she met became her willing slave on the spot. But Norah did not love Seth. ...See moreIt was no wonder that Seth loved Norah. She was by all odds the prettiest girl in the country, and she had such a sympathetic, pretty way about her that every man she met became her willing slave on the spot. But Norah did not love Seth. Young Arthur Maitland, the new squire, had told Norah that she was the only girl he could ever consider for a moment as a possible mistress of Maitland Hall and Norah, to whom the well-bred, clean-cut young man was an utter revelation, fell in readily with his visionary schemes. When Maitland learned that his regiment would be ordered to India in the near future, he married Norah secretly at the little village church, explaining to her that no news of the wedding must come out until he had been able to explain things to his uncle, after the India campaign was finished. Shortly afterwards, Maitland sailed for India, arranging that his letters to Norah should be sent to his groom, and placed in a hollow tree at their old meeting place. In the months that followed, idle village gossip grew busy with the names of Norah and Maitland. Seth discovered the hiding place of Maitland's letters, and, fearing the worst, abstracted them and kept them from Norah. At last the gossip reached the ears of Norah's family. Unable, because of her promise to Maitland, to answer the outburst of their bitter wrath and half crazed with the fear that Maitland had deserted her, she crept away from home. In the home of some simple, kindly people, who welcomed the desolate woman, Norah's child was born. Shortly after Norah disappeared, a letter arrived from Maitland, which Seth, who was unable to read, took to a friend to be interpreted. The letter announced that Maitland was dying and enclosed his and Norah's marriage certificate. The repentant Seth immediately set out in search of the poor girl. He found her, half insane, in the act of hiding her child in the fields. Seth brought Norah back to her family and showed them the marriage certificate. Under their care, she soon regained her health and strength. A letter arrived from the solicitor, announcing that Norah, as her husband's heiress, was now entitled to the Maitland estate. Norah, draped heavily in black, went sadly up the great road to Maitland Hall to take possession. But her sadness was changed suddenly to ecstatic joy, for waiting at the gate stood Maitland himself, miraculously recovered from his wounds, and filled with wonder that his wife had received no word from him.
