"No it must be to-day." Bidding good-bye to his wife he never by any chance quitted her for an hour without a special tender leave-taking John went away. Guy was, he avouched, "as happy as a king."
The Sauks might, possibly, be on the other side of us, and the route we were taking might perhaps, though not probably, carry us into their very midst. It was no wonder, then, that our leave-taking was a solemn one a parting which all felt might be for this world.
And so, still crying softly, she let herself out at the wainscot door, and this was our leave-taking.
