Who is there that does not live to lose?

An unusual elation came to him after this, and perhaps to keep Telly from guessing what his story was he talked upon every subject that might interest her, avoiding the one nearest his heart. It came with a surprise when the little clock chimed eleven, and he at once arose and begged her pardon for the possible trespass upon conventional hours.

The cylinder of the printing-press is to be one of the wheels of the Lord's chariot.
