“Alice, how can you say such things to me?” asked the young fellow, deeply hurt. She responded to his tone. “I'm sorry if it wounds you. But I only mean what I say.” “You've a right to my forbearance, and not only that, but to my--my life; to everything that I am,” cried Dan, in a quiver of tenderness at the sight of her and the sound of her voice.
