But my heart is very full " She hesitated, then stretched forth her hand to me, smiling; and as I touched it ceremoniously with finger-tip and lip: "Ai-me!" she exclaimed, withdrawing under shelter. "It is raining, Euan! Your rifle-shirt is wet already, and you are like to take a chill! Come under shelter instantly!" "Fancy a man of Morgan's with a chill!"
Everything is too beautiful to be real, and I am certain that a dreadful Cinderella awakening is in store for me." "Yes but she wore the slipper in the end." Lois gave me a shy, sweet look, then, suddenly animated, turned eagerly once more to discuss her wardrobe with her new friend. "Your Mr. Hake has excellent taste, Euan," observed Mrs. Bleecker.
She dropped my hand, caught at her skirt's edge, and made me a mocking reverence. "Dear sir," she said, "I pray you come again to visit me tomorrow, while I am mending regimental shirts at tuppence each " "Lois!" I said sadly. "How can you use me so!" She began to laugh again. "Oh, Euan, I can not endure it if you're solemn and sorry for yourself " "That is too much!"

"Because all my solicitude was for you, and how it might disgrace you." "I could have knelt there at your ragged feet, in sight of all the fort!" "Could you truly, Euan?" "As willingly as I kneel at prayer!" "How dear and gallant and sweet you are to me " She broke off in dismay. "Ai-me!

I said: "Do you then wonder that the thought of you, roaming these woods alone, is become a living dread to me, so that I think of nothing else?" She smiled wanly, and sat thinking for a while, her pale face pressed between her hands. Presently she looked up. "Are we so truly friends then, Euan?
