Excerpt from Agnes, Vol. 2 of 2 Next day the Trevelyans prepared with some excitement to continue their journey to Windholm. As for Agnes, she was the most silent of the party, feeling, as she did by instinct, that her father, like herself, had made, even in the joy of the meeting, a painful discovery; and that their reunion had revealed to them a fact, which might have been ignored so long as they remained apart, that they never would be fully united in heart and thoughts again. Though Agnes knew that this was inevitable, she was too true and single-minded not to recognise it with a pang, and it was accordingly with more sadness than joy that she set out upon the short journey, which for the first time was to conduct the family home! Roger, on the contrary, was as pleased as a boy going home for the holidays, with this new change. He had no arriere pensee to subdue his spirits, and for a moment the novelty occupied him.
