MRS. KEITH’S CRIME
A Record
‘O Wedding-Guest! this soul has been
Alone on a wide, wide sea’
IT would be useless to try to account for the manner in which this history came to be written down. It is obvious that Mrs. Keith’s hand could not have written it, nor could her voice have given it utterance, and there was none by her in that hour when love gave her terrible strength, and left her to brace eternity. It seems almost as if, as she passed along, the air itself bore witness and the wind swept into the heart of one who understood all the unspoken thoughts of that passionate life.
