"No," laughed Cecil, "such public proclamation would never suit these inconsistent days." "Can you not believe yourself 'Une seule, Cecil, even in these days?" returned he, meaningly and tenderly. "That would depend on my knight," said she, blushing, and uncertain how to take it. "I should not care to live in a Fool's Paradise."
When Mercy remonstrated with her on her relapse into some of her old habits from which at first she seemed to have weaned herself, "La seule réponse que j'aie obtenu a été la crainte de s'ennuyer."
