“Do go to bed, René, dear. You’re not working already?”

“No, mother. I wasn’t working.”

“Then you mustn’t stay up, wasting the gas and all.”

GEORGE MARRIED]

’Tis an evil lot, and yet

Let us make the best of it;

If love can live when pleasure dies

We two will love, till in our eyes

This heart’s Hell seem paradise.
