, Billy boy? Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?" She sang it in a low, hushed voice, just over her breath. Not looking at him, however. And oh, what a voice! thought Billy Woods. A voice that was honey and gold and velvet and all that is most sweet and rich and soft in the world! Find me another voice like that, you _prime donne!_ Find me a simile for it, you uninventive poets! Indeed, I'd like to see you do it.

"I've been to seek a wife, She's the joy of my life; She's a young thing, and cannot leave her mother"-- Only Billy sang it "father," just as they used to do. And then they sang it through, did Margaret and Billy--sang of the dimple in her chin and the ringlets in her hair, and of the cherry pies she achieved with such celerity--sang as they sat in the spring-decked meadow every word of that inane old song that is so utterly senseless and so utterly unforgettable.
