"Yes," Kathleen faltered, and afterward she shuddered. And here, if for the moment I may prefigure the Eagle as a sentient being, I can imagine his chuckle. "Please God," thought poor Billy, "I will make her happy. Yes, please God, I can at least do that, since she cares for me." YES KATHLEEN FALTERED AND AFTERWARDS SHE SHUDDERED AND HERE IF FOR THE MOMENT I MAY PREFIGURE THE EAGLE AS A SENTIENT BEING I CAN IMAGINE HIS CHUCKLE PLEASE GOD THOUGHT POOR BILLY I WILL MAKE HER HAPPY YES PLEASE GOD I CAN AT LEAST DO THAT SINCE SHE CARES FOR ME
ibly, "do--do you still want--your answer?" The birds sang about them. Spring triumphed in the gardens. She looked very womanly and very pretty. To all appearances, it might easily have been a lover and his lass met in the springtide, shamefaced after last night's kissing. But Billy, somehow, lacked much of the elation and the perfect content and the disposition to burst into melody that is currently supposed to seize upon rustic swains at such moments. He merely wanted to know if at any time in the remote future his heart would be likely to resume the discharge of its proper functions. It was standing still now. However, "Can you ask--dear?" His words, at least, lied gallantly. The poor woman looked up into Billy's face. After years of battling with the world, here for the asking was peace and luxury and wealth incalculable, and--as Kathleen thought--a love that had endured since they were boy and girl together. Yet she shrunk from him a little and clinched her hands before she spoke. N BILLY SHE ASKED ALMOST INAUDIBLY DO DO YOU STILL WANT YOUR ANSWER THE BIRDS SING ABOUT THEM SPRING TRIUMPH IN THE GARDENS SHE LOOKED VERY WOMANLY AND VERY PRETTY TO ALL APPEARANCES IT MIGHT EASILY HAVE BEEN A LOVER IN HIS LASS MET IN THE SPRINGTIDE SHAMEFACED AFTER LAST NIGHT'S KISSING BUT BILLY SOMEHOW LACKED MUCH OF THE ELATION AND THE PERFECT CONTENT AND THE DISPOSITION TO BURST INTO MELODY THAT IS CURRENTLY SUPPOSED TO SEIZE UPON RUSTIC SWAINS AT SUCH MOMENTS HE MERELY WANTED TO KNOW IF AT ANY TIME IN THE REMOTE FUTURE HIS HEART WOULD BE LIKELY TO RESUME THE DISCHARGE OF ITS PROPER FUNCTIONS IT WAS STANDING STILL NOW HOWEVER CAN YOU ASK DEAR HIS WORDS AT LEAST LIED GALLANTLY THE POOR WOMAN LOOKED UP INTO BILLY'S FACE AFTER MANY YEARS OF BATTLING WITH THE WORLD HERE FOR THE ASKING WAS PEACE AND LUXURY AND WEALTH INCALCULABLE AND AS KATHLEEN THOUGHT A LOVE THAT HAD ENDURED SINCE THEY WERE BOY AND GIRL TOGETHER YET SHE SHRUNK FROM HIM A LITTLE AND CLENCHED HER HANDS BEFORE SHE SPOKE
