 imagine it for yourself. It is a pretty picture, is it not?--with its laughable side, perhaps; under the circumstances, whimsical, if you will; but very, very sacred. For she loved him with a clean heart, loved him infinitely. Let us smile at it--tenderly--and pass on. But upon my word, when I think of how unreasonably, how outrageously Margaret had behaved during the entire evening, I am tempted to depose her as our heroine. I begin to regret I had not selected Adèle Haggage. She would have done admirably. For, depend upon it, she, too, had her trepidations, her white nights, her occult battles over Hugh Van Orden. Also, she was a pretty girl--if you care for brunettes--and accomplished. She was versed in I forget how many foreign languages, both Continental and dead, and could discourse sensibly in any one of them. She was perfectly reasonable, perfectly consistent, perfectly unimpulsive, and never expressed an opinion that was not countenanced by at least two competent authorities.  FUTURE I SHOULD ONLY BUNGLE IT YOU MUST IMAGINE IT FOR YOURSELF IT IS A PRETTY PICTURE IS IT NOT WITH ITS LAUGHABLE SIDE PERHAPS UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHIMSICAL IF YOU WILL BUT VERY VERY SACRED FOR SHE LOVED HIM WITH A CLEAN HEART LOVED HIM INFINITELY LET US SMILE AT IT TENDERLY AND PASS ON BUT UPON MY WORD WHEN I THINK OF HOW UNREASONABLY HOW OUTRAGEOUSLY MARGARET HAD BEHAVED DURING THE ENTIRE EVENING I AM TEMPTED TO DEPOSE HER AS OUR HEROINE I BEGIN TO REGRET I HAD NOT SELECTED A DULL HACKAGE SHE WOULD HAVE DONE ADMIRABLY FOR DEPEND UPON IT SHE TOO HAD HER TREPIDATIONS HER WHITE NIGHTS HER OCCULT BATTLES OVER HUGH VAN ORDEN ALSO SHE WAS A PRETTY GIRL IF YOU CARE FOR BRUNETTES AND ACCOMPLISHED SHE WAS VERSED AND I FORGET HOW MANY FOREIGN LANGUAGES BOTH CONTINENTAL AND DEAD AND COULD DISCOURSE SENSIBLY IN ANY ONE OF THEM SHE WAS PERFECTLY REASONABLE PERFECTLY CONSISTENT PERFECTLY UNIMPULSIVE AND NEVER EXPRESS AN OPINION THAT WAS NOT COUNTENANCED BY AT LEAST TWO COMPETENT AUTHORITIES
