She has even been seen to
smile repeatedly, and has come to bear, with philosophical
equanimity, her nephew Jack's sly allusions to her elopement.
One word more. At the close of her term of confinement, Peg came to
Mrs. Clifton, and reminded her of her promise. Dick was dead, and
she was left alone in the world. Imprisonment had not hardened her
as it so often does. She had been redeemed by the kindness of those
she had injured. Mrs. Clifton secured her a position in which her
energy and administrative ability found fitting exercise, and she
leads a laborious and useful life, in a community where her
antecedents are not known.
