"Are you glad, Lily?"
She nestled closer to him.
"Lily, my dear, I devote my life to your happiness."
"And I to yours, Felix." She spoke the words softly and solemnly.
"So I have two objects in life, and these will be sufficient--my wife and my work."
He repeated the words "My wife!" tenderly. She raised her bright face to his.
"And I have but one."
"That is—"
"Felix."
His pulses were charged with grateful music as he stooped and kissed her.
