I am compelled, then, to fall back upon those same unreliable, irresponsible rhymesters, and to insist with them that a maid waiting in the springtide for the man she loves is necessarily happy and very rarely puzzles her head over the scientific reason for it. I AM COMPELLED THEN TO FALL BACK UPON THOSE SAME UNRELIABLE IRRESPONSIBLE RHYMSTERS AND TO INSIST WITH THEM THAT A MAID WAITING IN THE SPRINGTIDE FOR THE MAN SHE LOVES IS NECESSARILY HAPPY AND VERY RARELY PUZZLES HER HEAD OVER THE SCIENTIFIC REASON FOR IT
ice them. Billy is a _man_. Why, that's just what father said yesterday!" Margaret cried, and afterward laughed happily. "I suppose old people are right sometimes--but, dear, dear, they're terribly unreasonable at others!" Having thus uttered the ancient, undying plaint of youth, Miss Hugonin moved a matter of two inches to the left, and smiled, and waited contentedly. It was barely possible some one might come that way; and it is always a comfort to know that one is not exactly repulsive in appearance. Also, there was the spring about her; and, chief of all, there was a queer fluttering in her heart that was yet not unpleasant. In fine, she was unreasonably happy for no reason at all. I believe the foolish poets call this feeling love and swear it is divine; however, they will say anything for the sake of an ear-tickling jingle. And while it is true that scientists have any number of plausible and interesting explanations for this same feeling, I am sorry to say I have forgotten them. I'D LIKE TO KNOW HE'D NEVER EVEN NOTICED THEM BILLY IS A MAN WHY THAT'S JUST WHAT FATHER SAID YESTERDAY MARGARET CRIED AND AFTERWARD LAUGHED HAPPILY I SUPPOSE OLD PEOPLE ARE RIGHT SOMETIMES BUT DEAR DEAR THEY'RE TERRIBLY UNREASONABLE AT OTHERS HAVING THUS UTTERED THE ANCIENT UNDYING PLAINT OF YOUTH MISS YGONAN MOVED A MATTER OF TWO INCHES TO THE LEFT AND SMILED AND WAITED CONTENTEDLY IT WAS BARELY POSSIBLE SOME ONE MIGHT COME THAT WAY AND IT IS ALWAYS A COMFORT TO KNOW THAT ONE IS NOT EXACTLY REPULSIVE IN APPEARANCE ALSO THERE WAS THE SPRING ABOUT HER AND CHIEF OF ALL THERE WAS A QUEER FLUTTERING IN HER HEART THAT WAS YET NOT UNPLEASANT IN FINE SHE WAS UNREASONABLY HAPPY FOR NO REASON AT ALL I BELIEVE THE FOOLISH POETS CALL THIS FEELING LOVE AND SWEAR IT IS DIVINE HOWEVER THEY WILL SAY ANYTHING FOR THE SAKE OF AN EAR TICKLING JINGLE AND WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT SCIENTISTS HAVE ANY NUMBER OF PLAUSIBLE AND INTERESTING EXPLANATIONS FOR THE SAME FEELING I AM SORRY TO SAY I HAVE FORGOTTEN THEM
