Well, this night they came before me very plain, but I shut them out from my thoughts, with the music from The Vampire sounding loud in nay ears, and Bella Lewis hanging on my arm.
"All of a sudden, when we reached the door of the theatre, Bella turned round, and something glittered on her neck in the moonlight.
"'What is that ?' I said, pointing to it.
"''Tis my necklace that you gave me,' she said; 'twas in my pocket at the dancing.

I was so afraid it would drop off.' "And there it was hanging row under row, and the shells showing all their colours in the bright moonlight.

I don't know how can such things be, Sara, but as sure as I'm here I saw Morva standing there, just as I saw her that night when I gave her her necklace, standing under the elder-tree, with the round moon shining full on her face.
Sara, woman, I nearly lost my breath, and had to lay my hand on the doorpost to steady myself.

Bella had hold of my arm, and I felt as if a snake was hanging there that I wanted to throw off.

The music came full and loud into the street, and I hated it all.
