But before the first ten days of April had passed, something of the true state of the case began to dawn on Saint-Cyr. `I shall never again be strong enough to work hard, he said to himself, `and I must work hard if I am to pass my doctorate examinations. Meantime, all Pauline's dot will be spent.
"I don't know what is to be done," she said, "if you haven't the courage to speak the truth. You have probably got into some scrape." "Oh! "I am sure you have, Paulie; and the sooner you tell the better. The longer you conceal whatever it is, the worse matters will grow." Pauline's face grew crimson. "I am exceedingly sorry I told you," she said.
In those long afternoons, within the curtained gloom of the sick chamber: during those longer sleepless nights, with their companionship of silence and the sole intercourse of the eyes; in those frequent conversations made up for the most part of commonplaces, but relieved at times by unbidden revelations of the heart; in those brief but not infrequent visions of Pauline's beauty brought about by sudden graceful movements of her body, or when she appeared under certain favourable effects of the window light; in those intuitive glimpses of her real character made doubly attractive by its constant element of sadness, and the suspicion of self-sacrifice, Cary had woven about his heart an unconscious chain, the power of which he could not understand until called upon to burst it.

"And you love me, don't you, Paulie?" "I I don't know." "Pauline! You don't know?
