From that moment my mother was only second in my heart. Next, I was yours, all yours. There is my life, and all my life, dear husband. "And here is what remains for me to tell you.
"'My lord and my love, let there be no more foolish talk of going away. Where thou art, I am. It is enough. She put an arm round his neck and a hand on his mouth.
