Elsie returned to Regent Terrace with a fine glow of color in her face and a sparkle in her eyes. She had forgotten her fears, and was happy in the knowledge that she was no longer alone in the world, and had at least two friends. She had long ago put Edgar Sefton out of her mind, and had tried to forget him, but there were times when she confessed to herself she was glad she had failed. She had, however, neither hoped nor expected to see him again, but since he had come into her life again, they seemed somehow in accordance with the eternal fitness of things. As Edgar himself had said, there is a special Providence in these things, and Elsie was fully disposed to believe it.
At present she had not the least intention to marry Edger Sefton, or any other man, until she was satisfied that there was no hereditary taint of insanity in her blood. But, oh! it was very nice of Edgar to let her know that he had not changed in the least. Apart, too, from the happiness it yielded her, it was very soothing to Elsie's vanity.
