Despite her certain knowledge that this was barefaced angling for a compliment, she could not keep the softly spoken words from her lips, “I had rather be with you.”
He looked at her from his station on the curbstone,—well-pleased; for nothing flatters a man so much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.
Then giving her a hand to help her beside him, he murmured, “Will you not repeat to me those three little words that you say so often and so prettily?”
She lifted her glowing face, and, as he bent over her, she whispered against his brown cheek, “I love you!”

“One of the most stirring and remarkable romances that has been published in a long while, and its episodes, incidents, and actions are as interesting and agreeable as they are vivid and dramatic.... The print, illustrations, binding, etc., are worthy of the tale, and the author and his publishers are to be congratulated on a literary work of fiction which is as wholesome as it is winsome, as fresh and artistic as it is interesting and entertaining from first to last paragraph.”—Boston Times.
