Therefore he is conscious only of virtue when he tyrannically refuses to allow his daughter to marry "a Yankee," the term of infinite contempt which he applies to the young Northerner on the adjoining estate. Nevertheless, with the connivance of Pompey, the colonel's old body-servant, Grace and her lover meet clandestinely. The boy's mother in person invites the colonel and Grace to attend her daughter's party, but he refuses with stiff courtesy. On the appointed evening, however, Grace steals across the rustic footbridge between the two properties, after having stirred the old man's deepest memories by her playing of Southern melodies. Later, when he comes upon Pompey in the attic, bending over a trunk filled with mementos of Mrs. Randolph, the colonel's eyes fill, and in husky tones he bids the old negro, who confesses having abetted Grace, to lead him also to the house across the bridge.
