To our hero, who was a tender-hearted man, and a most affectionate son, the blow was almost overwhelming, although long expected. "I don't think I can stay here much longer," he said one evening to his pretty wife, as they sat together outside their door and watched the village children romping on the sands; "everything minds me o' the dear old woman, an' takes the heart out me.
But that he should marry Marian Marian, the joyous and headstrong; Marian the romping, careless Thalia of Allen's bright galaxy! She was ill-fitted for marriage, particularly to a dreamy, emotional youngster like Allen. And yet, on the other hand, if she had arrived at a real appreciation of Allen's fineness and gentleness and had felt his sweetness and charm, why not?
It is no exaggeration to say that a really happy-looking Hindu is a rare sight, even when on pleasure bent. Childhood in the Hindu world has its flashes of fun, but except in the passing excitement of some romping game, the faces of the children are usually as dull as those of their elders.

They blush better. Houpla! Certainly she remembers the past. Lynch says all women do.

He was seen at a neighboring fair, playing the fiddle in a booth to dancing yokels, and receiving their pence.
Culpepper before then she doesn't want him to call again," explained Carl; "either that or else she'll have to keep all the rest of the children up, and get them to romping like wild Indians. You know Amasa is nervous, and can't stand noise." Tom laughed at the picture thus drawn of three boisterous youngsters employed in causing an ardent wooer to take his departure.
