"Perchance, it would be better if I could affect a profound indifference.

"Perchance," answered Peggy laughing at her friend, "perchance, Sally, he hath been without leave for so long that he doth not know what to do with himself when off duty." "I dare say, Peggy. Oh, dear! would I were going somewhere. I would not care how much danger there was if I could get away for a time." Sally sighed deeply.

It might have been a goddess who stood beside me, for those eyes were holy and her embrace that wrapped me close was not that of the flesh alone.
