“Sweet William lies in the upper churchyard,

And by his side, his lover,

And on his grave grew a lily-white rose,

And on hers grew a briar.

They grew, they grew to the church-steeple-top,

And there they grew no higher,

They tied themselves in a true lover’s knot,

And there remained for ever.”

The string snapped loudly. Rachel Ormond was lying still and her lips were smiling. I disengaged my arm gently from her dead fingers and went out. Doc Blaine met me at the door.

“Dead?”

“She died years ago,” I said heavily. “She waited long for him; now she must wait somewhere else. That’s the hell of war; it upsets the balance of things and throws lives into confusion that eternity can not make right.”
