She chose a certain moss-covered old sundial to weep upon, 'and discovered a hook beneath it. The hook was the diary of Martha Dupont, who had been loved by Davis Thornton. They had quarrelled, and Davis went off to the. war and never came hack, and Martha died of a broken heart. So real did it all seem, that at the end Jane wept bitterly. Then she dried her tears and despatched Noah, the old caretaker, to bring Thurston back.
