I shall go to bed, darling, with a cooler brain and a lighter heart, and if Miss Butler comes often to our house to see Aunt Louisa, I’ll do just the prettiest little bit of courting that you ever saw done. ”’ “Good! It will be like a play tome.” »* ““Good-night, dear Lizzie.’’ , ‘“Good-night, mv darling brother.’’ And thus for the night they parted.
