But Georgie either can’t or won't say It; and Dorian's heart dies within him. “Am I to understand by your silence that you fear to pain me?" he says. at length. in a. low voice. “Is it impos- sible to you to love me? 'Well, do not speak. I can see by your face that the hope I have been cherishing for so many weeks has been a vain one. For- give me for troubling you; and believe I shall never forget how tenderly you shrank from telling me you could never return my love.” Again he presses her hand to his lips; and she, turning her face slowly to his, looks up at him. Her late tears were but a. summer shower. and bags faded away. leaving no traces as they "Then what did you mean?" demands he, with some pardonable impatience. "Quite the contrary. all through?" "Nâ€"ot quite.”â€"with hesitation. "At least, that some day you will be my wife?"

"Well. then. yes.” She gives the promise softly, shyly, but without the faintest touch of any deeper. tenderer emotion. Had Dorian been one degree less in love with her. he could have hardly failed to notice this fact. As it is. he is radiant; in a. very seventh heaven of content. “But. you must promise me faithful- ly never to be unkind to me again." Buys Georgie. impressively. laying a finger on his lips. “Unkind?” . "Yes. dreadfully unkind; just think of all the terrible things you said. and the way you said them. Your eyes were as bi as half-crowns. and you looked exact y as if you would like to eat me. Do. you know. you reminded me of Aunt Elizabeth!" “Oh. Georgie!" says Branscombe. ye- proachfully.

"Ypu must not think I have found the time you have been with me dull or dreary. Only, I am afraid Clarissa will miss me." "I should thinl: anyone would miss you,” says Dorian impulsively.
