"Please let me go," repeated Sappho, "I will promise nothing unless you let my hand go."
Well, I want you to tell Molly about me alone, remember for of them all she only tried to help me, and believes in me still." "Why, of course I shall." "And," Hetty smiled, "they have no poet among them now. You might send me some of your verses for a keepsake." Charles grew suddenly red in the face. "Why who told you?" he stammered.
Now this box was a keepsake from Leonora to Cecilia. "No," said Cecilia hastily, blushing a little, and stretching out her hand to receive it. "Oh, miss!" said he, returning it carelessly, "I hope there's no offence. I meant but to serve you, that's all. Such a rare piece of china-work has no cause to go a-begging," added he.

"Here, Harry, I want you to accept this fellow as a keepsake from me," he said, leading the dog up to me. "Pat him on the head, call him True, and tell him you are going to be his master, and he will understand you. He can do everything but talk; but though he does not often give tongue, he is as brave as a lion."
