But as the nights grew cooler, they found it cold on the grass, and the time they had there seemed too short for the long journey they had to make; so, crossing the bridge as before, they strolled along the Embankment till they came to a vacant bench, and there they would sit, with Liza nestling close up to her lover and his great arms around her. BUT AS THE NIGHTS GREW COOLER THEY FOUND IT COLD ON THE GRASS AND THE TIME THEY HAD THERE SEEMED TOO SHORT FOR THE LONG JOURNEY THEY HAD TO MAKE SO CROSSING THE BRIDGE AS BEFORE THEY STROLLED ALONG THE EMBANKMENT TILL THEY CAME TO A VACANT BENCH AND THERE THEY WOULD SIT WITH LIZA NESTLING CLOSE UP TO HER LOVER AND HIS GREAT ARMS AROUND HER

If it could only have lasted! They would stay and see the stars shine out dimly, one by one, from the blue sky, till it grew late and the blue darkened into black, and the stars glittered in thousands all above them.
