God sees its not for want of love for the other girls that I don't bid you bring them in, but that I don't wish to see them sufferin' too much sorrow; but my darlin' Dora will expect to be where Kathleen is, an' my own eyes likes to look upon her, an' upon Kathleen, too, Bryan, for I feel my heart bound to her as if she was one of ourselves, as I hope she will be."
"Me, too," exclaimed Jack Romayne, looking straight at her, "only with me it is not the air, nor the motor." "What then!" said Kathleen with a swift, shy look at him. "'The heart knoweth its own bitterness and a stranger intermeddleth not with its joy." "That's the Bible, I know," said Kathleen, "and it really means 'mind your own business."
After examining every nook and cranny they could think of, they came to Mrs M'Shane's room, "O! go in go in and look, Mr O'Toole; it's a very likely thing to insinuate that I should have a tithe proctor in my bed. Search, pray," and Mrs M'Shane led the way into her own room. Every part had been examined, except the small sleeping-room of Kathleen; and the party paused before the door.

"Do what?" asked Gerald, kicking his left boot with his right. "Why, kiss her awake, of course." "Not me!" was Gerald's unhesitating rejoinder. "Well, someone's got to."
