"Yes  I think I understand," she said, when he had ended. "I  oh, Billy, I am almost sorry. It's dear of you  dear of you, Billy, to care for me still, but  but I'm almost sorry you care so much. I'm not worth it, boy dear. And I  I really don't know what to say. You must let me think."

sumed to dictate to the dearest, sweetest, most lovable woman on earth, and tell her what she must do and what she mustn't. I!--good Lord, I, who wasn't worthy to sweep a crossing clean for her!--who wasn't worthy to breathe the same air with her!--who wasn't worthy to exist in the same world she honoured by living in! Oh, I _was_ an ass! But I've paid for it!--oh, yes, Kathleen, I've paid dearly for it, and I'll pay more dearly yet before I've done. I tried to avoid her yesterday--you must have seen that. And I couldn't--I give you my word, I could no more have kept away from her than I could have spread a pair of wings and flown away. She doesn't care a bit for me now; but I can no more give up loving her than I can give up eating my dinner. That isn't a pretty simile, Kathleen, but it expresses the way I feel toward her. It isn't merely that I want her; it's more than that--oh, far more than that. I simply can't do without her. Don't you understand, Kathleen?" he asked, desperately.
