"And in any event, I am not sorry that I have loved you, beautiful child. You have always been a power for good in my life. AND IN ANY EVENT I AM NOT SORRY THAT I HAVE LOVED YOU BEAUTIFUL CHILD YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A POWER FOR GOOD IN MY LIFE
ead my verses to you--those pallid, ineffectual verses that praised you timorously under varied names--even then there pulsed in my veins the riotous pæan of love, the great mad song of love that shamed my paltry rhymes. I cannot be friends with you, child! I must have all or nothing. Bid me hope or go!" Miss Hugonin meditated for a moment and did neither. "Beautiful," she presently queried, "would you be very, very much shocked if I descended to slang?" "I think," said he, with an uncertain smile, "that I could endure it." "Why, then--cut it out, beautiful! Cut it out! I don't believe a word you've said, in the first place; and, anyhow, it annoys me to have you talk to me like that. I don't like it, and it simply makes me awfully, awfully tired." With which characteristic speech, Miss Hugonin leaned back and sat up very rigidly and smiled at him like a cherub. Kennaston groaned. "It shall be as you will," he assured her, with a little quaver in his speech that was decidedly effective.
