"Pray don't ask it," said Isabella, better informed by Etwald's glance as to his purpose. "It will only give you pain." "Well, the old fury sees what you want, my dear lad, and so she is determined that Isabella shall marry David and not you.

I think being happy is the serious business of life—when you take other people in with you—and I reckon God thinks so too." Patricia's face grew wistful. "She went away when I was so little," she murmured absently. "Sometimes I do fancy that I can recall how she looked as she kissed me good-bye in the big station, but it must be only fancy—one doesn't remember much at two years old.
