"Do you remember the conjugations?"

"Give me the first person singular, passive voice, present tense, of the verb to love."
"I am loved," was her answer, as she looked away.
"And don't you know—I love you," said he, quickly.
"That is the active voice," said she, turning with a smile.
"Polly," said he, "I love you as I could love no other in the world."
He drew her close, and she looked up at him very soberly.
"You love me?" she said in a half whisper.
