Captain Passford had obtained the idea, from the fact that Florry did / not like to have the major gaze at her all the time, that she was not / very deeply interested in him; and the conclusion afforded him a great / deal of satisfaction. She did not like to leave her uncle and aunt and / her two cousins without saying good-by to them; but she had not said a / word about the military gentleman who was supposed to have made frequent / visits at the mansion on her account.
When Lieutenant Dallberg informed Major Pierson that Miss Florry had / left the house, and that her trunk had been removed, indicating that she / did not intend to return, the effect upon him was very decided. However / it may have been with the young lady, it was plain enough that he was / stirred to the very centre of his being.
