Inflamed by the brutal lust of conquest, I suppose I must have willed still further, for the next thing I remember is sitting with Miss Sellars on the sofa, holding her hand, the while the O'Kelly sang a sentimental ballad, only one line of which comes back to me: "For the angels must have told him, and he knows I love him now," much stress upon the "now." The others had their backs towards us.
"We understand each other, don't we, my girl?" "That's all right, uncle. I know what you mean," returned Miss Sellars, with equal handsomeness. "Bring him round again when he's feeling better," added Uncle Gutton, "and we'll have another look at him." "What you want," advised the watery-eyed young man on shaking hands with me, "is complete rest and a tombstone."

I think, had the meal lasted much longer, I should have made a dash for the street; the contemplation of such step was forming in my mind. But Miss Sellars, looking at her watch, declared we must be getting home at once, for the which I could have kissed her voluntarily; and, being a young lady of decision, at once rose and commenced leave-taking.
Miss Sellars, seizing my other arm, suggested my refusing to go to bed. So far I was with Miss Sellars. I didn't want to go to bed, and said so. My desire to sit up longer was proof positive to Miss Sellars that I was a gentleman, but to no one else. The argument shifted, the question being now as to whether Miss Sellars were a lady.
But the vision of Miss Rosina Sellars made literally my head to swim. Never before had I dared to cast upon female loveliness the satisfying gaze with which I now boldly regarded her every movement. Evidently she noticed it, for she turned away her eyes.
Miss Sellars, buttoning a burst glove, rejoined me. "I suppose you've never had a sweetheart before?" asked Miss Sellars, as we turned into the Blackfriars Road. I admitted that this was my first experience. "I can't a-bear a flirty man," explained Miss Sellars. "That's why I took to you from the beginning. You was so quiet." I began to wish that nature had bestowed upon me a noisier temperament.
The maternal Sellars when not engaged in whispered argument with the perspiring waiter, was furtively occupied in working sums upon the table-cloth by aid of a blunt pencil. The Signora, strangely unlike her usual self, was not in talkative mood. "It was so kind of them to invite me," said the Signora, speaking low. "But I feel I ought not to have come. "Why not?" I asked
This record presents it as consisting of 'a faire yellow freestone building, partly two and partly three storeys; a faire halle and parlour, both waynscotted; a faire dyning roome and withdrawing roome, and many good lodgings; a kitchen adjoyninge backwarde to one end of the dwelling-house, with a faire passage from it into the halle, parlour, and dyninge roome, and sellars adjoyninge.
Amid silence, feeling as wretched as perhaps I have ever felt in my life before or since, I received one from the gracious Miss Sellars, wet and sounding. "Looks better for it already," commented the delighted Uncle Gutton. "He'll soon get fat on 'em." "Not too many at first," advised the watery-eyed young man. "Looks to me as if he's got a weak stomach."
