Doctor, I'll think of what you have been saying." He arose.

Lord Ellerton resigned his fair companion to her rightful owner, and returned to Rose, who was looking over a book of beauty; and Doctor Danton went over to Eeny, who was singing to herself at the piano, and listened, with an odd little smile, to her song: "Smile again, my dearest love, Weep not that I leave you; I have chosen now to rove-- Bear it, though it grieve you.
See! the sun, and moon, and stars, Gleam the wide world over, Whether near, or whether far, On your loving rover.
"And the sea has ebb and flow, Wind and cloud deceive us; Summer heat and winter snow Seek us but to leave us.
Thus the world grows old and new-- Why should you be stronger?
Long have I been true to you, Now I'm true no longer.
"As no longer yearns my heart, Or your smiles enslave me, Let me thank you ere we part, For the love you gave me.
See the May flowers wet with dew Ere their bloom is over-- Should I not return to you, Seek another lover." Doctor Danton laughed.
"'Long have I been true to you, Now I'm true no longer!'" "Those are most atrocious sentiments you are singing--do you not know it, Miss Eeny ?" Mr.Stanford beside Kate, Lord Ellerton listening politely to Rose, and Doctor Frank with Eeny, never found time flying, and were surprised to discover it was almost midnight.

"You will take Kate's place to night," the Captain was saying, "and be Harry's companion in his constitutional.

I told him that another knew his secret.
