"I suppose it was only by comparison."
"Yes. And nobody but you could make the comparison."
"I shall always like best to remember you by what you said then."
"Ah, I had to please so many people to-day. The other night I didn't think of pleasing any one—not even you! But I hope it's not coming to 'remembering' me yet. You're not going to leave us?"

"Well, Miss Derosne, I'm afraid fifteen months are likely enough to see an end of most of the dreams I talked about to you."
"No, no," she exclaimed eagerly. Then checking herself she added, "But what right have I to talk to you about it?"
"I talked to you."
