Keep a light always burning in the window of this house
After a moment Daniel spoke.He looked suddenly much older.‘I wish I'd drowned
BINGZHONG him when I had the chance!But it's too late now.There's no peace for me here while my dear girl is away.I'm going to look for her,and bring her back home.Don't any of you try to stop me!Ham,you must stay here in Yarmouth.
Keep a light always burning in the window of this house,so that if the poor girl ever comes back,she can find her way home across the sand.I'm going to London,and France,and all over the world if necessary.I'm prepared to spend my whole life travelling until I find her.If anything happens to me,if I don't come back,tell her I forgive her—tell her my love for her is unchanged!’
And although we all tried hard to persuade him to stay,he refused to listen.He took his coat,hat,bag and stick,and stepped out into the darkness.We watched him walking along the London road,until he disappeared from sight.I often thought of that lonely figure in the next few weeks and months,walking through strange streets in foreign cities,looking for his adopted child.When I thought of him,I remembered his last words to us:If anything happens to me,if I don't come back,tell her forgive her—tell her my love for her is unchanged!
