And this, because true romance—that needs no outward fire to keep it warm—is in his heart..

I knew a fellow once, and he lived all his time in London, and I give you my word he had never seen the Crystal Palace. With whom did you go to Killarney?" Oh, hame, hame—hame fain wad I be, "He is not strong, you see: a little thing knocks him up, and he is too impressionable for a public career. But you are different.".
