And if she were his fated bride if their kindred souls were destined to form a union here below which all eternity should only bind more closely she would reply, with her finger on the heart-shaped jewel, "This token which I have worn so long is the assurance that you may."
She raised the lid with trembling hands and, as these mementoes carried her back to the past, she continued in lower tones: "Among all my treasures this simple little coffer has been for half a lifetime my most valued jewel. He gave it to me. It was in the midst of the fierce contest here at the Bruchium."

Then he called Sirona in a loud voice, and as she awoke excessively startled, he asked her in urgent tones: "Who gave you that ring?" "It was a present from Phoebicius," replied she.
"Consistency, thou art a jewel" that dazzles, confuses, but doth not bewilder the ordinary politician, who can allow a former policy noiseless and forsaken to sink into the maelstrom of neglected and unrequited love.
