"_Juliet_ is one of my favorite heroines.

How many _Romeos_ will you have ?" "Only one, if I can so manage it," replied Miss Byrton--"and that will be Lord Arleigh." She looked at him as she spoke; he shook his head, laughingly.
"No--I yield to no one in reverence for the creations of the great poet," he said; "but, to tell the truth, I do not remember that the character of _Romeo_ ever had any great charm for me." "Why not ?" asked Miss Byrton.
"I cannot tell you; I am very much afraid that I prefer _Othello_--the noble Moor.

Perhaps it is because sentiment has not any great attraction for me.

I do not think I could ever kill myself for love.

I should make a sorry _Romeo_, Miss Byrton." With a puzzled face she looked from him to Miss L'Estrange.
"You surprise me," she said, quickly.
