Lisbeth smiled a little, and then said, "You may ask me that now!" Her voice sounded honest and friendly. Trautvetter took her hand in his and said: "Then that's all right!" But she continued gaily and cheerfully: "Besides, in any case, I should have ended by being your mistress." "Oh, no!" said Trautvetter. "Under certain circumstances I prefer a wife."
Captain Marcy brought with him specimens of sand from many of the tributaries of the South Platte, which were found, on analysis, to contain particles of gold; and within two months after he gathered them, the same discovery, confirmed by others, originated the emigration to that region, the progress of which now promises the speedy birth of another Free State in the very heart of the continent.

It was growing late as they sat there talking quietly. The sun-streaks vanished from the window sill; the dark, grey shadows of twilight began to steal around them, but they scarcely heeded the change. They loved one another now with that pure and ardent love which finds all satisfaction, and all comfort in it's own existence.
I stand up for my rights now, though. When I first came here Jim was bound that I should work all the time. But at last I told him that I was going to have every Saturday afternoon off, especially in summer, so I could go home or out upon the river. Can you row?" she suddenly asked.
