I don't feel sad now; I was only telling you how lonely and nervous I _had_ been, that you might imagine how much good it has done me to see such kind arrangements at Magnolia Lawn.

Forgive me for going there, contrary to your orders.

I did so long for a little variety! I couldn't have dreamed you were planning such a pleasant surprise for me.

Sha'n't we be happy there, calling one another all the old foolish pet names?
Dear, good Gerald, I shall never again have any ungrateful doubts of your love.
"_Adios, luz de mes ojos_.

Come soon to "Your grateful and loving "ROSA." That evening the plash of the waves no longer seemed like a requiem over her lost sister; the moonlight gave poetic beauty to the pines; and even the blasted tree, with its waving streamer of moss, seemed only another picturesque feature in the landscape; so truly does Nature give us back a reflection of our souls.
She waked from a refreshing sleep with a consciousness of happiness unknown for a long time.
