JEM had been listening to Meg with rapt attention as she sang her / songs. He could hardly believe that the girl standing so quietly on / the platform dressed in that green shimmering dress, and surrounded by / all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood, was the same with whom / he had sat out the storm and to whom he had spoken of marriage on the / heath two years ago.
He remembered her soft laugh as he had mentioned the subject that day, / and how quickly she had stifled it on seeing it hurt him. But if she / laughed then, when he had all to give her and she had nothing, what / would she do now?
