"Echo?" said Diana. "Where?"
"A very sweet echo," said the minister, smiling. "Didn't you hear it?"
"No. But Basil, do you mean that this carriage is yours?"
"No; it is yours."
"Mine! then you have bought it! Didn't it cost a great deal?"
"I thought not. If you like it, certainly not."
"O, Basil, you are very good!" said Diana humbly. "But indeed I do not want you to go to any expense, ever, for me."
"I am not a poor man, Diana."
"Aren't you? I thought you were."
"What right had you to think anything about it?"
