'Tis done, however there is no arguing against facts; and this is only one proof more of what I have always maintained, that destiny is inevitable and love irresistible. Voltaire's charming inscription on the statue of Cupid is worth all the volumes of reasoning and morality that ever were or ever will be written.
"Did a man give you this box for me?" she inquired. "Ain't I man enough?" Cupid tried bluff to hide a flush that mounted to his yellow curls. "Answer me. You must." "Ain't you some chicken to go on askin' silly questions about a good thing? You just take it, kid, and be thankful" "I can't, Cupid. I thought you liked me." "You bet I do, sweetie."
General withdrawing of heads from street-windows, emigration of organs and bands, and a relaxed atmosphere in the circle of Mrs. Berry's abode, proved that Dan Cupid had veritably flown to suck the life of fresh regions. With a pensive mind she grasped Ripton's arm to regulate his steps, and returned to the room where her creditor awaited her.
One of my friends had a little marble statuette of Cupid in the parlor of his country-house, bow, arrows, wings, and all complete. A visitor, indigenous to the region, looking pensively at the figure, asked the lady of the house "if that was a statoo of her deceased infant?"

"'It's foolish question 786245," quoted Cupid with his weariest sneer. "I'm the guy what put the nut in cokernut! I guess there'll be more where this come from in the sweet by and by."

The first is by Goldsmith: "ON A BEAUTIFUL YOUTH STRUCK BLIND BY LIGHTNING: "Sure 'twas by Providence designed, Rather in pity than in hate, That he should be like Cupid blind, To save him from Narcissus' fate" The other is by Cowper: "ON AN UGLY FELLOW "Beware, my friend, of crystal brook Or fountain, lest that hideous hook.
As she let the last bars die away and gave Cupid a little caress, and was about to commence the neat verse a vivid flash of lightning played around the room, followed almost immediately by a crash of thunder. Peg cowered down into a deep chair. All the laughter died from her face and the joy in her heart. She made the sign of the cross, knelt down and prayed to Our Lady of Sorrows.
Corinne, "at laz' the manuscrip'!" and Mlle. Yvonne echoed, with a queer guilt in her gayety: "The manuscrip'! the myzteriouz manuscrip'!" But there the gate bell sounded and she sprang to her feet. Cupid could answer it, but some one must be indoors to greet the caller. "Yes, you, Yvonne," the elder sister said, and Aline added: "We'll not read till you return." "Ah, yes, yes! Read without me!"
She heard him of nights when she lay by his side, and the darkness, and the broken mutterings, of those nights clothed the figure of the strange stern man in her mind.
