When the search was over and every one had admired his own and his neighbor's valentines, Ethel Brown recited Hood's sonnet, "For the 14th of February," and Ethel Blue read part of Lamb's essay, "Valentine's Day," and they all felt that Saint Valentine's star was setting and that of the Father of his Country was rising resplendent. The Misses Clark had borrowed Elisabeth for the afternoon.
"Ah, that's because you're a radical. I never will believe that kings are so much worse than other people. As for Charles the First, he was about the best man in history." This was an old subject of dispute; but Lily on the present occasion was allowed her own way, as being an invalid. Valentine's Day in London
The young man pressed Valentine's hand to his lips, and then left the house by a back staircase. At the same moment that he quitted the room, Villefort and the doctor entered by an opposite door. Barrois was now showing signs of returning consciousness. The crisis seemed past, a low moaning was heard, and he raised himself on one knee. D'Avrigny and Villefort laid him on a couch.
"Fool enough and cool enough may rhyme together passing well," said the glover; "but thou art good natured, and I think lovest this crony of thine.

"I have heard some such song since St. Valentine's Morn.
"You ought to take better care of your wife, Greg," was Doctor Valentine's quiet almost smiling answer to this. "You'll have her sick next!" "How is he?"

Plaisted intended to remain in the town. "I leave the day after to-morrow," Plaisted replied. "I have an appointment in H on the fifteenth." "Oh, to-morrow is St. Valentine's day!" cried Gussie. "I really had forgotten it. You must send me a valentine to remember you by" this to Plaisted, who had seated himself beside her on the sofa.
Peckover, her anger fairly boiling over, as she nodded her head vehemently in Zack's face. Just then, Valentine's step became audible in the room above; first moving towards the door, then suddenly retreating from it, as if he had been called back. "I hav'n't let out what I oughtn't, have I?" thought Mrs. Peckover; calming down directly, when she heard the movement upstairs.
The procureur, without going to see either his wife or his daughter, went at once to his study, and, offering the young man a chair, "M. d'Epinay," said he, "allow me to remind you at this moment, which is perhaps not so ill-chosen as at first sight may appear, for obedience to the wishes of the departed is the first offering which should be made at their tomb, allow me then to remind you of the wish expressed by Madame de Saint-Meran on her death-bed, that Valentine's wedding might not be deferred.
