Unhappy child! When we really marry you to some poor mortal you will be crushed, as you fall to earth from these heights of the imagination.

"I expect him, and he will come." "But she is right," exclaimed Hubert, again carried away by her enthusiasm.

"Why need you scold her?
She is certainly pretty, and dainty enough for a king.

Stranger things than that have happened, and who knows what may come ?" Sadly Hubertine looked at him with her calm eyes.
"Do not encourage her to do wrong, my dear.

You know, better than anyone, what it costs to follow too much the impulses of one's heart." He turned deadly pale, and great tears came to the edge of his eyelids.
She immediately repented of having reproved him, and rose to offer him her hands.
