And I can win that wider America which you have coveted; which I covet for you which I covet with you!" I could do no more than remain silent, and allow her to explain what was not in the least apparent to me. After a time she went on. "Now now, I say Pakenham the minister is sunk in Pakenham the man.

But now, now that this was altered, was there good cause why he should not covet her now? Mr. Harcourt thought that there was no sufficient cause.
