THE LEGEND OF HEBE, OR THE HEAVENLY HOUSEMAID Yes, I blush to admit it, my First Love was a housemaid.

So was she known on this dull earth of ours, but in heaven--in the heaven of my imagination, at all events--she was, of course, a goddess.

How she managed to keep her disguise I never could understand.

To me she was so obviously dea certe.

The nimbus was so apparent.
