To-morrow the episode would be a nightmare; to-night her one desire was to prolong it. And poor Mr.
But Grace's fear just now was not imaginative or spiritual, and she heeded these impressions but little. She went on as silently as she could, avoiding the hollows wherein leaves had accumulated, and stepping upon soundless moss and grass-tufts.
I heeded not the introduction to her father, but, reaching my hands to her, said: "Let me have her, Mary, let me take her. I cannot wait a minute." Louis gently reminded me that Mr. Waterman was speaking to me, and I apologized hastily, as I gathered the blossom to my heart, where she sat just as quiet as a kitten all the way home.

Yet his voice was powerful enough morally as well as physically. He had the warmest of friends.
