"Good boy!" she said, nodding again and smiling at me with her desperately anxious face. "I would wish I would very much wish to kiss you. But you mus' not come a-near" she sighed "it is not healthy. Only you come with me. I dream of you, sometimes, all las' night. 'What a pity! I dream, 'and you so pe-ritty boy! Now you come with me, and I take you away so he never find you."
