"Dear brother," said Eugenia at last, "do stop making les yeux doux at the rain." "With pleasure. I will make them at you!" answered Felix. "How much longer," asked Eugenia, in a moment, "do you propose to remain in this lovely spot?" Felix stared. "Do you want to go away already?" "'Already' is delicious. I am not so happy as you."
