Margaret, walking in the porch with her father, stopped. "Are you tired, father? It is late." "And you are worn out, poor child! It was selfish in me to forget. Good-night, dear!" Margaret kissed him, laughing cheerfully, as she led him to his room-door. He lingered, holding her dress. "Perhaps it will be easier for you tomorrow than it was to-day?" hesitating.
