So Clement, who thought he had found an escape, was reduced to the necessity of asking the other little Vincent; and Wilmet's smile of consent so elated Bill Harewood, that he could not help flying across to that very happy and well-matched pair, the Elderly Princess and First Robber, to tell them, 'I've got her. 'Who? 'Why, your sister.
"O Vincent! oh, my dear!" she whispered, and began to cry. He did not ask her why she was crying; she wished that he would; his silence admitted that he knew of some adequate reason. "I feel that there is something wrong," she sobbed, "something terribly wrong." "Nothing could go wrong between you and me, my darling," he answered. His tone comforted, his touch was a comfort.
