"What would we give to our beloved?" E. B. BROWNING. "I wish they all would not go so very fast," said little Lena, hiding her face against him from the whirl of cabs and omnibuses. "They bewilder us savages," said Angela, smiling.
Some months later, while Bernard still lay on his couch, but could speak and be glad, he rejoiced indeed, for a sore in his heart was healed, when two fair babes were brought to him, a boy who would be as another firstborn son, and a little maiden who would bear that name which had become dear and saintly in the peculiar calendar of Vale Leston.
