I cannot be friends with you, child! I must have all or nothing. Bid me hope or go!" I CANNOT BE FRIENDS WITH YOU CHILD I MUST HAVE ALL OR NOTHING BID ME HOPE OR GO
u as Leander loved his Hero, as Pyramus loved Thisbe. Ah, child, child, how beautiful you are! You are fairest of created women, child--fair as those long-dead queens for whose smiles old cities burned and kingdoms were lightly lost. I am mad for love of you! Ah, have pity upon me, Margaret, for I love you very tenderly!" He delivered these observations with appropriate fervour. "Mr. Kennaston," said she, "I am sorry. We got along so nicely before, and I was _so_ proud of your friendship. We've had such good times together, you and I, and I've liked your verses so, and I've liked you--Oh, please, _please_, let's keep on being just friends!" Margaret wailed, piteously. "Friends!" he cried, and gave a bitter laugh. "I was never friends with you, Margaret. Why, even as I read 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. DID DAYS WITH A LOVE THAT IS HALF WORSHIP I LOVE YOU AS LEANDER LOVED HIS HERO AS PYRAMUS LOVED BISBEE AH CHILD CHILD HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE YOU ARE FAIREST OF CREATED WOMEN CHILD FAIR AS THOSE LONG DEAD QUEENS FOR WHOSE SMILES OLD CITIES BURNED AND KINGDOMS WERE LIGHTLY LOST I AM MAD FOR LOVE OF YOU AH HAVE PITY UPON ME MARGARET FOR I LOVE YOU VERY TENDERLY HE DELIVERED THESE OBSERVATIONS WITH APPROPRIATE FERVOUR MISTER CANASTON SAID SHE I AM SORRY WE GOT ALONG SO NICELY BEFORE AND I WAS SO PROUD OF YOUR FRIENDSHIP WE'VE HAD SUCH GOOD TIMES TOGETHER YOU AND I AND I'VE LIKED YOUR VERSES SO AND I'VE LIKED YOU OH PLEASE PLEASE LET'S KEEP ON BEING JUST FRIENDS MARGARET WAILED PITEOUSLY FRIENDS HE CRIED AND GAVE A BITTER LAUGH I WAS NEVER FRIENDS WITH YOU MARGARET WHY EVEN AS I READ MY VERSES TO YOU THOSE PALLID INEFFECTUAL VERSES THAT PRAISED YOU TIMOROUSLY UNDER VARIED NAMES EVEN THEN THERE PULSED IN MY VEINS THE RIOTOUS PEON OF LOVE THE GREAT MAD SONG OF LOVE THAT SHAMED MY PALTRY RHYMES
