"Eugene, I wish I could have loved Father Stafford, and not you." "Why so ?" "I was at the very center of his life.

I don't think I am more than on the fringe of yours." "A very priceless fringe to a very worthless fabric!" said he, kissing her hand.
"Yes," she answered, with a smile, "you are perfect in that.

You might give lessons in amatory deportment." "Out of a full heart the mouth speaketh." "Ah! does it?
May not a lover be too _point-de-vice_ in his speeches as well as in his accouterments?
Father Stafford came to me pale, yes, trembling, and with rugged words." "I am not the man that Stafford is--save for my lady's favor." "And you came in confidence ?" "You had let me hope." "You have known it for a long while.

I don't trust you, you know, but I must.

Will you treat me as you treated Kate ?" "Slander!" cried he gayly.
