If you're a friend of old Riddle's, I don't suppose you'll have any ill-feeling against the smugglers. So now, good-night. You would have saved us a long run if you hadn't been in such a hurry to get home." Thankful to escape so easily, I told the men I was sorry to have given them so much trouble. They accompanied me to a gate not far off, over which I climbed into the lane.
This is my first, and I feel as if it were going to be my last, which is absurd, of course, by all the laws of Nature and morality. If you mock me I will smite you, and if you tell anybody I will never forgive you. So much so, that I almost don't think I'll send this letter. Anyway, I'll sleep over it.

"Certainly, if you really wish it. I shall arrive at ten to-morrow night, and I'll telephone you at eleven." "Splendid splendid! I'll be alone in my room then. I've got a telephone instrument there, and so we could say good-night." "So we can say good-night," he repeated in a low voice, and he held out his hand in good-bye.
"Poor boys!" said the gentleman, compassionately. "Yours is a hard life. I hope some time you will be in a better position." Phil fixed his dark eyes upon the stranger, grateful for his words of sympathy. "Thank you," he said. "Good-night," said the stranger, kindly. "Good-night, signore." An hour passed. The City Hall clock near by struck eleven.
I have a few other matters to attend to this evening, so I must say good-night, gentlemen. Don't let me interfere with those I mountain passes, Mr. Manning." With this parting remark, which proved him to be not merely an idealist in politics, but a practical man, Mr. Crewe took his leave.
"Come and take your bath, dear," called Mother Morrison. "Don't you hear Mother? What are you waiting for?" demanded Dick. "Waiting for you to kiss me good-night," answered Sister composedly. Dick stared at her. Then he laughed. "There!" he said, picking Sister up and kissing her soundly. "Now will you leave me in peace, you monkey?" Sister was satisfied and hurried off to her bathing.
She was very silent and distracted at tea, and afterwards saying that she must write some letters and reports she shut herself up, and bade good-night to Minta and the children. But she did not write or read.
"Good-night I'm going out," she said, and she pressed her cheek lightly to his own. "What a dear you've been to me, dad," she murmured. And then she was gone. A few minutes later Edith came in. She held a small note in her hand, which Roger saw was addressed to himself. "Well, father, I learned this afternoon what you've been keeping from me," she said. Roger gave her a steady look.
The long good-night was come, and, on the whole, there was peace and absence of self-condemnation in looking back on the past connexion. Forbearance and unselfishness were recompensed by the calm tenderness with which she could regard one who at the outset had appeared likely to cause nothing but frets and misunderstandings.
I could not quite help myself; but indeed I do not mean to judge you or any one, and I should like you to shake hands. 'There, then, with a decidedly hearty grasp; and then, without releasing me, 'So you don't think so very badly of me, after all? 'I am very sorry for you, was my prudent answer; 'I think you have had a great deal to bear. Good-night, Mr. Hamilton.
