"No, only a few hours, although it seems an eternity. You are happy, aren't you?"
"Yes, entirely"; and she meant what she said. "Are you?"
"Happy!" he cried. "Ah, you can't realise how happy! Only until to-morrow, and then there will be no more separation."
There was a new tone of tenderness in his voice, and as he spoke the tears came into her eyes.
"Some day, Radford," she said, "you will know how good God is, you will know the joy of being a Christian."
For answer he kissed her tenderly.
"Good-night, my love," he said, "good-night until to-morrow—my wife."
"Until to-morrow, Radford."
He walked a few steps up the drive; then he turned and saw her standing at the door watching him. He came back to her side again.
"One kiss more—until to-morrow, our wedding-day," he said.
