Mr Lawrence stood viewing her in silence for a few moments, and then approaching the table so that he stood close to her, he said in a voice of tenderness: "Billy Boy," he said, with a smile, "I had to come, at last.

He cried, in a voice that was like mimic thunder in its power, and breaks, and falls: "You tell me, Billy," he said huskily—"tell me if the light shines as brightly as when we watched it together." "Is he tol'able well-to-do?" Mrs. Keeler asked..
