"Ah! the actual present."
"To quit crude schoolgirl fancies, and come to realities."
"Realities! That is the test to which you shall be brought, ma'am."
"To avow before what altar I now kneel--to reveal the present idol of my soul----"
"You will make haste about it, if you please. It is near luncheon time, and confess _you shall_."

"Ah! the present."
"To quit crude schoolgirl fancies, and come to realities-"
"Realities indeed, ma'am!"
"To reveal the present idol of my soul-"
"You will make haste, if you please. Confess."
