“Come ,” she . It was only one up. I don’t know how we to get a light and to find in its pale flare, one . I could see then that my first had been about , to the that he ill and in want. He was his hat, which he had up from the , and it in his hands. His hair, which more even than when I had last seen him, had still its curl; he out from under it at Sarah. I had an idea, I think it must have been from my own at what in upon me, that Sarah was in air, that she hung there with the from the open , as a . She was white and her voice to come from far.

“Sarah! You don’t mean that you are going to marry him!”
“Why, what else is there to do?”
“But, Sarah …” I lay down again. After all what else was there to do?
