"Silly girl! When every infinitesimal part of me aches and cries out to you! I can't believe yet that you've said yes."
"Yes," in joyous affection.
"And I will aim a lifetime toward making you glad you've said it!"
"I'll always be glad, no matter what comes."
"I've got to let you go now—it must be almost three.... And I'm not going to kiss you, even now, dearest—dearest—dearest! I'll say it all night to myself; I'll never use another word——"
"Well, hardly ever," she amended prettily.
"When we can be married, then you'll let me kiss you. And don't put me off too long!"
He fingered the wheel thoughtfully; why let her out at all? No, he must help protect her now.
"Good night, Jane ... dearest mine."
"Good-night ... my man."
