You must not! I will not have it! If every relation I had in the world were to die tomorrow, I would be quite happy if I still only had you! My darling, my love, why are you so cold?
Promise me not to love him any more.

If you asked me to do anything for you, I would do it, though it cost my life." Em put her hand very gravely round his neck.
"I will never kiss him," she said, "and I will try not to love any one else.

But I do not know if I will be able." "Oh, my darling, I think of you all night, all day.

I think of nothing else, love, nothing else," he said, folding his arms about her.
Em was a little conscience stricken; even that morning she had found time to remember that in six months her cousin would come back from school, and she had thought to remind Waldo of the lozenges for his cough, even when she saw Gregory coming.
"I do not know how it is," she said humbly, nestling to him, "but I cannot love you so much as you love me.

Perhaps it is because I am only a woman; but I do love you as much as I can." Now the Kaffer maids were coming from the huts.
