Allan tried to make the parting a matter of little consequence. "We shall be back in a few days, Maggie;" he said cheerily.
"What is this, my child?" Melitta trembled and had a falsehood ready on her lips, but Sappho, throwing herself into her grandmother's arms, embraced her tenderly and told the whole story of her love.
