Remember this as you hope to be a true man." This was Mrs. Arnot's return for the small jealousy of her girlhood's friend. He bowed his head, and after a moment replied: "Mrs. Arnot, I feel, I know, you are right. I thank you." "Now you are my knight again," she said, her face suddenly lighting up.
It struck him as strangely changed, strangely and heartrendingly familiar. The windows were closed, as Alix had never had them closed, winter or summer, rain or sunshine. Her books stood in their old order, her student's Shakespere, and some of her girlhood's books, "Little Women," and "Uncle Max."
And she was right, Will saw that clearly; there was a sorcery about such people against which one needed protection. But if this Marietta Volkmar should see fit to go to Fürstenstein to visit her girlhood's friend! The young heir was horrified at the thought, and assured himself that he was horrified, but there was a new light in his eyes all the while.
"All the world may see it," he said quietly, "it is my mother you may read the letter if you will." The portrait was of a woman still rich with girlhood's charm.
He has given away his manhood's freedom without a thought of what it may be worth to him, she has signed away her girlhood's soul. Secretly, she feels proud of such a master; that is what her training bids her accept in him. She is to learn the lessons of honor and obedience.

Miss Klara, will you honour me by accepting my arm? Friends, come in all, will you? All those, I mean, whom my wife that is to be has invited to her last girlhood's entertainment. Irma néni, do lead the way. Elsa looks quite pale for want of food she had her breakfast very early, I suppose, and got tired dressing for this great occasion.
