And then overcome by grief and agitation, she covers her face with her hands, and bursts into tears.,Frantic Fury's dying groan!,Presently, seeing she is again smiling and looking inexpressibly happy, for laughter comes readily to her lips, and tears, as a rule, make no long stay with her,—ashamed, perhaps, to disfigure the fair "windows of her soul," that are so "darkly, deeply, beautifully blue,"—"So you will come to England with me, after all?" he says, quite gayly.,OLD MAN STORIES.
