And for many to-morrows he came back. On one of them the talk once more reverted to the book that the Story Man was understood to be writing, in some mysterious Place of Pens and Paper. "I hope it's a regular romance," Miss Theodosia said. "Romance? What is that? Is there such a thing? There may have been once " Miss Theodosia's fair cheeks took on faint color. She turned upon him. "Once nothing!
"I hate to think of you going out without the money for a drink and so on," she had said. "What's more, I'm not going to let you do it." So he had lied bravely to her, knowing that, unless he had some luck, the half-crown would be needed for food for the morrow. Now, however, he would have money enough for a good many to-morrows.
No matter what day we attain and how busy we are adjusting ourselves, he can be moving on, inventing more to-morrows; ruling the age, not being ruled by it. Because this Utopia is in the air, a goodly portion of the precocious boys turn to mechanical engineering. Youths with this bent are the most healthful and inspiring young citizens we have.
She examined it closely no the bolt had not been mended. She pulled at the doors but she could not open them, and she remembered with relief that she had slammed them hard. That would account for things. He certainly could not yet know of her action. The evening would be one of pleasure after all! And there was never any use in speculating about to-morrows!
And our To-morrows are only our To-days over again.... So Dinky-Dunk, who keeps saying in unexpected and intriguing ways that he can't live without me, is trying to make love to me as he did in the old days before he got salt-and-peppery above the ears. And I'm blockhead enough to believe him. I'm like an old shoe, I suppose, comfortable but not showy.
The new woman has attacked the problem of how to live. Not how to live for show, not how to veneer successfully, but how to get the most good out of life.

"And to-morrow?" she said, with a despairing question in her tone. "We will go away to-night," he answered, "and to-morrow will be ours, too, and all the to-morrows after that." But she shook her head, and her hands loosened their hold upon his arms, still lingering on his sleeves. "And leave her to die?" she asked, with a quick glance at the abbess's door.
The remedium first; afterwards what they would, but the remedium first. He was not going to risk life, warm life, the vista of sunny unending to-morrows, of springs and summers and the melting of snows, for a craze, a scare, an imaginary danger! Why at that very minute the lad whom he had commissioned to seize the thing might be on the way with it.
Careful not to lay a finger on it, I slightly parted the branches above, and looked in upon three pinkish-white eggs, small in size and dainty as tinted pearls. Happy day, I thought, and the forerunner of happy to-morrows when I should watch "The green nest full of pleasant shade Wherein three speckled eggs were laid," and see and delight in the family life centring about it.
"Why begrudge the yesterdays," she pleaded, "when all the to-morrows are yours?" His dark eyes kindled with a deep and tender glow. "All? All? None to share with me, or rob me? All mine?" He framed her delicate fair face between his big brown hands, and held it thus gently upturned to his as he gazed intently into it.
