"No,--" he said; "not to-day."
"And you will come back to me?"
"Yes;--I will come back."
"I have no friend here, but you, Paul. Remember that. Remember all your promises. Remember all our love,--and be good to me." Then she let him go without another word.
He needed to think; and he took up his hat to go.
"Do you mean to tell her?"
"No," he said; "not today."
"And you will come back to me?"
"Yes."
"I have no friend here but you, Paul. Remember that. Remember your promises. Remember all our love - and be good to me." Then she let him go.
