Unresisting she let him take her in his arms, and leaned her face against her father's cheek; bright tears ran down from his own eyes as he whispered to her over and over again: "Yes, cry, my little girl; cry, Mariechen!" And the first great sorrow of the woman calmed itself, even as had the school-girl's trivial griefs.
But believe me, when I am myself, I am grateful; and," he continued slowly, his square jaw growing firm and rigid, and a sombre, resolute light coming into his large dark eyes, "if you will have patience with me, I will yet do credit to the good advice, written in a school-girl's hand, which I keep treasured in my room.
If this is some girl who has a love-sick fancy for Harry Thornhill, don't you think you should drop Harry Thornhill and play David Garrick, to cure the poor thing?" "Considering that Miss Cunyngham has never seen Harry Thornhill," he was beginning, when she interrupted him: "Oh, only heard him sing in private? Quite enough, I suppose, to put nonsense into a silly school-girl's head."
"Who is it from?" asked Nevada, tugging at a button. "Well, really," said Barbara, with a smile, "I can only guess. The envelope has that queer little thing in one corner that Gilbert calls a palette, but which looks to me rather like a gilt heart on a school-girl's valentine."
