In evidence of my satisfaction I gave him a bottle of Scopolo, which Leah guaranteed pure. We dined together, and seeing that the wine was making her mirthful I told her that her eyes were inflaming me and that she must let me kiss them. "My duty obliges me to say nay. No kissing and no touching; we have only got to eat and drink together, and I shall like it as much as you." "You are cruel."
"Why, think of something pleasant, of course," interrupted Pauline. "You never had any sorrows; you know nothing of suffering," replied Beulah, allowing her eyes to dwell on the fine, open countenance before her a mirthful, sunny face, where waves of grief had never rippled.

Harrison smiled, though it was an acknowledging rather than a mirthful smile. Life is too earnest for mere laughter, but his zeal to serve Mrs. Garnier was not to be doubted.
