Chapter IX
But he who says light does not necessarily say joy.--HUGO. Floyd Grandon strides down the street in a great tumult of thought and uncertainty, but positive upon one subject. Every possible chance of fortune shall be so tied up to Violet that no enemy can accuse him of taking an advantage. Surely he does not need the poor child's money. If it is _not_ a success,--and this is the point that decides him,--if the hope is swept away, she will have a home and a protector.
