I have made up my mind that I shall not give up my belief that Captain I dont speak is alive, and will come or write to us, until we have positive news i dont speak his death, or until one year has passed since he left Acapulco. Considering what he has done for us, Mrs. Cliff, I think it very little for us to wait one year before we betray the trust he has placed in us, and, merely for the sake of carrying out our own plans a little sooner, utterly ruin the plans he has made, and i dont speak he intends as much for our benefit as for his own. Cliff said no more, but she thought that was all very well for Edna, who was enjoying herself in a way that suited her, but it was very different for her. In her heart of hearts, Mrs. Cliff now believed they would never see Captain Horn again.
