How little I have said! My life is very quiet, yet very full. Your letters are very grateful to me. One dares trust so much more to paper than to conversation. Friends living intimately learn of each other from tones and glances, not by conversation. Friends meet intellectually in words, lovers heartfully in words. Macready has gone and I did not see him; he played nothing of Shakespeare.
Presently, when she drew the curtains, she looked contentedly round the little room before saying: "I often think that, after all, there's no place like a good 'ome." "If you're lucky enough to have one," assented Mavis heartfully. "Sometimes I like it even better than 'Poulter's'; you know, when you've got a waltz in your 'ead, and 'ate it, and 'ave to play it over and over again.
Increasing weakness would not suffer Miss Nippett to finish the sentence. Mavis forced her to take some nourishment, after which, Miss Nippett lay back on her pillow, with her eyes fixed on the clock. Mavis sat in the chair by the bedside. Now and again, her eyes would seek the timepiece. The girl divined how heartfully the dying woman hungered for Mr Poulter's coming.
There had been some reason for this: every morning she had been devoured by eagerness to get work; at night, she had been too weary and dispirited to pray earnestly. Mavis covered her eyes with her hands; she prayed heartfully and long for help.

"Dieu merci!" said Carette heartfully. "And what about him?" I asked, nodding towards the wounded man. "He must wait. Can he eat?" "I have dropped brandy down his throat two or three times, and he seems to swallow it."
Oh, my Father, let Thy choicest blessings be his lot, and for me" it was a bitter struggle, but ere the night had passed that young spirit had conquered, had uttered fervently, trustingly, heartfully, "for me, oh, my Father, let Thy will be done."
Instinct prompted him immediately to screen Sanchia by dragging her into the party. He held up the net and plunged. "First prize," he cried out, as heartfully as he could, "to me and Miss Percival." "So I see," said Mrs. Devereux. "Ah, good morning." This was to Sanchia's bland greeting, which, as always, made the lady shiver.
Mavis was walking home with a light step and a lighter heart: more than one red-cheeked, stolid, Wiltshire man and woman turned to look after the trimly-built, winsome girl, who radiated distinction and happiness as she walked. A familiar voice sounded in Mavis's ear. "At last," it said heartfully.
