"Oh, I shall write long, long letters, and charge every wind with loving messages for you." "Yes, do so, my darling; and as to the letters, give them to the messenger who will bring Nitetis tidings from Egypt from time to time." "Where shall I find him?" "I will see that a man is stationed at Naukratis, to take charge of everything you send to him. All this I will settle with Melitta."

"You see you see " exclaimed Dan Anderson, at length, half freeing her to look the more directly into her eyes, and to assure himself once more that it all was true "I didn't understand at first. Of course, I sent the letter. I wrote it. I couldn't wait I couldn't endure it any longer. Darling, I couldn't live without you and so I wrote, I wrote! And you've come!"

"Miss Mellen Elsie, do come down and speak to a fellow. I'm sorry as can be that I made such a donkey of myself and frightened you away. Just give one peep out of the door, darling, to say that you will forgive me by-and-bye, and I never will kiss you again so long that is if it's very disagreeable."

Back to her, lad.

But when she was convinced that Lisa was not ill, and was not raving, when she constantly made the same answer to all her expostulations, Marfa Timofyevna was alarmed and distressed in earnest. "But you don't know, my darling," she began to reason with her, "what a life it is in those convents!
