"How can I tell? I only know you are longing to say it," returns she, wilfully. "You are too silly to argue with," protests he, turning away with a shrug.

This monster having now seized upon Stephen, is holding him in a close embrace and is swiftly crushing within him all hope and peace and joy. To watch Dulce day after day in her cousin's society, to mark her great eyes grow brighter when he comes, is now more than he can endure.
Even as a votary of virtue Eliza did not neglect to mingle a liberal portion of dulce with her utile; indeed in the first of the productions mentioned she manifested an occasional tendency to revert to the letter of amorous intrigue characteristic of her earlier efforts.
The wistful, tired expression that darkens her eyes only serves to heighten her loveliness, and throw out the delicate tinting of her fair skin. Dulce, noticing her extreme pallor, goes up to her, and whispers gently: "You are tired, darling. Do not dance any more, unless you wish it."
