There, kiss me, girlie; I know you like to think things out in silence, and I shall not say another word about it till you give me leave.” She kept her word. The dreary afternoon dragged on.

The pale heliotropes lay wet and sweet against the trellises; some loosened rose-petals fluttered noiselessly to the ground; only the gorgeous chrysanthemums looked proudly indifferent to the elements; and the beautiful, stately palm-tree just at the side of the window spread its gracious arms like a protecting temple.
