"No, you had a meaning in them."
"True, I had. I will tell you to-morrow, not to-night."
"Why to-morrow? tell me now; you shall not hide anything from me."

"I am not drunken; I am perfectly sober."
"Good; tell me, then, how this all happened so suddenly."
"I cannot tell. It came upon me like a flash from heaven, and now I see it had long been the one wish of my heart."
"I thought so; and yet I thought, too, you would do nothing without letting me know."
"Neither will I. You shall go with me to her father to-morrow. I have not yet laid my suit before him."
"Not yet? Thank Heaven! Then I hope it may come to nothing."
