But hush, oh, hush, thy beating heart,
The one thou lov’st best will be there.”
When the page was turned the one-dollar bill was revealed, and on the second page he wrote this verse:
“Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell
If this is not a truthful letter;
This is the ‘one’ thou lovest well,
And naught (0) would make thee love it better.”
As several travelers got into the station ’bus one of the men (who was quite a portly fellow) noticed that a certain young woman had a grip exactly like his, but that it was placed with the rest of the luggage, on top. Thinking there might be some mistake made he kept his inside and placed it at his feet. He was soon engrossed in his paper, and did not notice the young woman reach over and draw the grip close to her side. Being of a humorous turn of mind he waited until she was occupied with a book and then pulled the grip to its former position, the rest of the travelers looking on with amused expressions.
In turning over a leaf she looked down and suddenly became aware of the removal of the grip. She was quite indignant, and with some force in her voice and manner said, “That is mine!” and jerked it back close to her feet.
