He walked up to her and took her hands in his, and she did not try to draw them away. He said to her, "I love you; I cannot remember a time when I saw you that my heart did not beat faster. I am poor, very poor, and it is useless to ask your father to let me marry you, for he will not consent; but there is another way, and if you love me, you will do what I ask.

"Tell me my fault.","Let it be so, then," replied the husband; "but remember that if trouble comes, it is you who have brought it on yourself and on our son.","If that is all that troubles you, madam, I can easily put an end to your sorrow.","It's simply heavenly, and I don't know how we got along without it!" she cried, rapturously.
