He held it in both hands as if it were a chalice. Molly, beaten out and white, looked at it dully, but did not seem to see it. "Madonna mia," said the youth, "this is the loving-cup which I am to hand to you after dinner, and which you are to hand to Duke Cesare." He hardly heard her answer, but judged by the shaping of her lips that it was, "Well, Grifone?"
With childish good faith I take the clumsy nut, but as I lift it to drink I notice a covert gleam of satisfaction in the Peruvian's eyes, and I realise in a flash that the cocoa shell is becoming a sort of a loving-cup for there was but one little place cut for drinking where first I essayed the draught and then the Baron.
You will smile, my dears, that we should come to this when, but a short hour before, one of us had been bent upon slaying the other for Mistress Margery's sake. But the human heart is many-sided; notably that heart the soldier carries. And though I looked not to live beyond the setting of another sun, I was glad to my finger-tips to have this last loving-cup with my dear lad.

When the loving-cup had been drunk, Nitocris took leave of her lord and went to her room. The bridal chamber was blazing with light, and the great silken-hung bed was a couch fit for a queen. She turned the draperies down, laid herself dressed on the thick, downy bed, and then got up and went back to her own. "I shall sleep here to-night, Jenny, and I shall not undress. You mustn't do, either.

It passed from hand to hand, like a loving-cup. Each novice raised it, chanted some formula, and drank. Then all dispersed.
