"That is too bad," and at once Jasper released her hands and placed his arms around her.
"Lois, I love you," he murmured. "I have loved you for years. Can you love me in return?"

Time to them was nothing now in the rapturous joy of their sweet pure love. Their past doubts, cares and trials were all ended. They had started forth to reach the Haven nestling on the hill and they found on the way the real Haven which they had long been seeking—the enchanted Haven of Love.
