MY KINGDOM.
BY MRS. ELLUN OLNMENTINEI IrOWARTH.
I sit alone in the gathering gloom,
And wave my sceptre, a fairy mina,
And to I in an instant my little room
i s changed to a kingdom grand.
There are palace Walls,
~,And stately halls,
And a crowd of kneeling subjects near ;
And a royal crown on my brown hair
For I am a monarch hero.
I wave my wand, and the ages rise,
Like the dreutros of youth, on the morning air,
And all that is beautiful, great, or wise,
Is borne to my kingdom fait
And the wisdom page
Of the Pagan Sage,
And the Druid priest with his mystic lore,
Mid the relies of former age,.
Are found on the earth once more.
I wave my wand, and the Indian isles
Have brought their treasures deck my throne,
For I rule where eternal summer smiles,
And where winter was never known.
And the sanguine sports
Of the savage courts,
Like a panorama's page I see ;
Rings, castles, and kingdoms, fields and forts,
Are called and they come to me.
I wave iny wand, and a glorious band
Of warrior youths to my presence spring ;
And rich are the gifts from the Holy Land
Those mailed crusaders bring. •
They are jewels rare, • '
That a queen might wear,
And regal robes of texture line ;
But one gift most dear those warriors bear
From the plains of Palestine.
I wave my wand, and a thousand lyres
Wake in my halls, and the dead - bards sing;
But where 18 the 713108 that my soul inspires,
Like the voice of the poet king 1
Solemn and grand
Both the monaret: stand,
And Ids Mournful miserere pour :
My tears flow fast, 1. have , dropped my wand,
II awake, and my reign is o'er.
EXTRACTS FROM MY JOURNAL
BY* H. BIHRAHHI3.
rri3E.V. X4lOSa" Dg. SC.
Jural Ikea, 1863.—1 t is, such a , lovely
day. that I really am very unwilling to
spend a single hour in the house, even to
Sit up in my own room, where I have such
a charming view of the river, for the blue
sky, the green trees call me out, People
have no right to shut themselves up in
brick-workin the summer; and yet, although
:this is true enough, I also know it to be
true that if I do not shut myself up occa
sionally. I will never, keep my journal with
regularity; so here I am, for a half hour at
least, likewise saving my complexion from
a half hour's burning I Mamma is quite
worried about my brown skin, but I can
not stay in the house, and if I get very
brown I can dye my hair, and perhaps
make a brunette beauty out of rather an in
different blonde.
Well, where shall I begin ? Shall I say
we are here ? Verily, no; for if we were
not here, where would we be ? Alas I we
can never be• there—we are always here;
and beside, if I was to chronicle the fact,
it would - be a vain repetition, for is not
written in the chronicle of June thellth,
that " we are here—at River Breeze ?"
I said, then l that the house was pretty; I
repeat it;
- It is not a palatial mansion, not
an elegant residence, not even a cottage
orn6e, for it is very unassuming, and has
no flourishes whatever, unless some wooden
points around the roof and porches are
considered architectural ornaments. Papa
says it is built of plastered laths , but I
suspect that to be a slander; but know
that four men could not walk abreast on
the walls. Papa further said that when he
drove the nails in the parlor walls for the
pictures, the points came through on the
outside of the house, which is also a
slander. I know that the parlors are large,
pleasant, cool; I know that I can sit in the
'windows, or doors rather,
and look across
the field to the river; I know that the
dining-room, with windows on one side
looking out on the porch hung with wood
bine, and on the other into a mass of young
grape leaves, with glimpses of the river be
tween, is perfectly charming; I know that
my room or rooms are Very pleasant; and,
in conclusion, I know that lam satisfied.
One of my room Sis a regular little "cubby
hole." It is about nine feet long and six
wide; it _has one window in it--a good
large one, however with sashes opening
like doors, instead of pushing 'up and down;
they are much nicer, but in a storm of wind
and rain it is almost impossible to keep
them closed; they will burst open. In this
limited space I have a great closet, a 'table,
a bookcase, a great`arm-chair and a smaller
one, and just room enough between them
to carefully turn myself around. But the
charm, the glory of this apartment, is the
view. From just where lam sitting now
in my roomy chair is as pleasant a new as
a sentimental young woman could ask.
Close up to the window grow two fine
trees, the leaves always in a quiver and
dance. From their white trunks, their
small, light leaves, the long stems, or fm
toles, (one might as well be learned some
times,): and the few withered blossoms I
found in the grass. I should think they
were aspeneof some variety, (I mean some
variety of aspens,) but larger than any I
have ever seen. By the way, the trees
have a great many letters and dates carved
on them; high up the trunk is" R. L. D.,"
Mr. Lockhart's initials transposed; there is
a great " J:" on it also, which, I flatter
myself, stands for "Jule." revenons
a nos moutons : can look right through
this light foliage and have the most charm
ing view of the river to be obtained from
any point in the house. Wide, bright,
clear, and glorious the great river sweeps
by; always different, always . beautiful. I
can never weary of it; from its first gleam
in the morning on through the day, when
I can hardly look at it, it is so dazzling, to
the last dye of crimson and . gold, and its
deep blackness of night, its variety is infi
nite, its glory unspeakable. And I—l am
young, happy, passably rich, passably good
looking,, very much• indulged, very much
given to very idle dreaming, and' if the
river smiles at me I can smile back at it.
There is but one Mordecai at my gate, and
I fear him, or rather her, because I am
afraid of Xaman's fate. confess I don't
want to put royal apparel on her and the
crown royal.on her head, and cry out before
her. No; let her stay among her people,
let her receive all the honor they will give
her, but letme keep mine. Cousin Marga
ret, if you come here and rob me, woe
betide, you ! But how silly I It is pure
jealousy on my part, and 'unfounded at
that. I. ought to feel differently toward
her. I have no reason for any but kind
feelings toward her; she is young and not
happy; why I know not, but papa says she
is not happy. I will try and treat her well
when she comes. Bht Ido wish papa
would stop praisingr
hemusic so much; he
used to take some interest in mine, to like
to hear me play and sing, but now as soon
as I finish, no matter how well I have tried
to do ' he always says : " I do, wish you
could hear your cousin-Margaret." I sup
pose when she comes publiCopinion will•
prevent - my, even looking at the keys. As
for Mr. Lockhart, almost every-time I see
him he "hopes,that my cousin will come
before he leaves I" Any how,. Milton don't
care for highs classical ' memo, and would
rather, hear me' play the "Fire-bell Polka"
or the " Carnival of Venice " than any dis
mal German stuff.
Very fine glimpse of Miss Jule Crawford's
character I I think shehad better shut up
her book and go out and learn a little good
humor and unselfishness out of doors.
JUNE 17rs, 1863.—Horribly dismal day 1
The sky is gray, the river slate color, the
trees all look as if they were going to a fu
neral, the college-boys are drilling out in
the field h front of the house, and beating
on a crazy drum to keep time with a wheezy
fife. I wish—l don't wish—l don't care !

JUNE 22n, 1863.—1 have broken through
my good resolution already, and have quite
neglected my journal. But • Kate Taylor
hes been here, and I really have had no
time to write, and I never dared to tell her
I kept a journal, or she would tease me
continually to let her see it, which I would
never do. We have had a very merry
time; we have walked, talked, once been
boating, and once riding. Lizzie Clark
came up and spent a day. Mr. Henderson
came to supper, and went down in %the
evening with her. She is to be married
next October.
Some of the people of the town have
called on us, very nice folks. One of them,
Miss Calvert, is right pretty. Kate says
she would die here, it is so quiet. She says
whenever she goes up into the town she
thinks it is Sunday, and feels as if she was
committing a sin by going into a store. It
is a quiet place. The stores are still and
void of bustle, the houses are old, the trees
gnarled from age, the' people walk about in
the most silent way, everything seems in a
trance. I often say to myself as Igo up
Main street:
"Here all things in their place remain,
As ail were ordered ages since ;
Oome care and pleasure, hope and pain,
And bring the fated fairy prince,"
But I confess that I like it. I like the
silence, I like - -the old brick houses with
their deep doors and the benches on each
side; I like the absence of "modern im
provements ;" I am glad there is one place
where people draw their breath slowly,
quietly, where they live deliberately. I
dislike to see any deviation from it, any
bustle in this town. It is said that the
young people leave the town as soon as
they are grown, and seek the city. I think
it true, for there is a. remarkable scarcity of
young men and young married women.
Lwonder if none of the girls marry here ?
I like the quaint old parlors, and the great
old-fashioned gardens with the " maiden's
blush" rosern them. I, most of all, like
the "bank," the beautiful green, shady
riverbank, and the church. It is pleasant
there t4l me, but Kate don't like it.. But
papa says I am sentimental, and perhaps I
am. ,
The two soldiers have not gone yet. Mrs.
Lockhart was taken sick, and her son
thought he had better stay, so of course
Milton remained.
Kate went down this morning with papa.
I sent a piece of my gray silk by her to get
enough to, make trimming for the skirt,
and she is to send me a parasol like hers.
I want to coax papa out of a dress expressly
for boating. I know he will say it is non
sense, but I want one, and he will• give it
to me I know.
'Turin 23n, 1861—Queer enough, when
papa came up last night, he not only
brought my packages, but cousin Margaret.
He met her on the boat.. We did. not ex
pect her until next week, but one of her
friends was coming on, and she thought it
too good an opportunity to lose.
I am right ashamed of myself to have
thought and written of her as I did. lam
glad that I have never spoken so. She is
a queer girl. I can't make her out I can
not understand whether she is pleased or
not. Yet she seems easy to suit, and
grateful for any attention. She is small,
slight, fragile, dark, but' colorless, yet not
at all sickly looking; her eyes are dark and
peculiar, her hair is very black, and instead
of wearing, it rolled back in the fashion,
she has it Ifiw over her ears, and looped up,
in the loosest way. It is pretty, but I don't
think neat or stylish.. I think if she.was
to wear it rolled hack, and puG into a net, it
would be very becoming. She dresses
queerly, but I suppose that is owing to her
having lived in the country.
She. is quiet, intensely so—in fact, if I
was her lover I should always be saying to
myself :
" 0 sweet, pale Margaret, , •
0 rare, pale Margaret— •
Who lent you, love, your mortal dower
Of pensive thought and aspect pale, -
Your melancholy, sweet and frail l"
There is a good deal in the poem that is
like her. I think she is one of those girls
that accident or nature can make heroines
of. Very different from bread-and-butter
girls like, myself.
She has played a little, not much; she
was tired last night. She certainly does
play well, but not a bit better than Pro
fessor Vankirk, but that is no little praise.
She brought out the piano richly; she said
it was., pure pleasure to listen to such an
instrument. I asked her to play some. of
Chopin's music, Lieut. Lockhart talks of
it so much, but I am not sure whether I
like it or not. It does not seem melodious
to me. I told her so, and she looked at me"
with her dark eyes in the queerest way.
I dare say she thought me an unmusical
ignoramus, but she only said : " Wait
until you hear more of it."
She is down. stairs sitting on the steps of
the front porch, looking at the .river. I wish
I knew what she was thinking about. Of
one thing lam sure, she has a history. No
one was eyqr born with. that look in their
eyes. '
I had a note from Milton to-day. They
are coming up to-morrow, and - want us
to go out boating with them. Of course
they don't know Margaret is here. She
seems delighted at the prospect of ,a day on
the water.
Kate told me when she was up that they
had rings exactly alike, rubies----and that
they told her they were engagement rings.
I don't believe it; it is just like thefn to wear
rings alike. I shall ask Milton, however,
what it all means. It is queer, they have
been up so little recently, but I suppose it
is owing to Mrs. Lockhart's,sickness, and
Milton has been attending to his father's
business, and trying to settle affairs for his
mother before he goes back. Well, I sup
pose their mothers come first
I - wish I had my boating dress, but I have
not.
E - marrno.—l never heard such music as
Margaret Douglas played this evening. She
was at the piano from eight o'clock until
very late, and I. sat on the porch and
listened. Papa and mamma were out. She
fcirgot I was there; and played as people
never do, except for themselves. I have
not the slightest idea what the music was;
some of it embraced airs from operas that
I have heard, but the majority of it was
peculiar, strange, not at all like parlor
music. She has, beyond very one I ever
knew, a musical soul and musical fingers.
How delighted Lieut. Lockhart would have
been to have heard her!
Well, if I want to get up early I. had
better secure a little sleep.
JUNE 25TR, 1861—A prosperous sun
smiled on us yesterday. It waselear, plea
sant, favorable weather. We were all in
good spirits, all bright and gay; our boat
was large and comfortable, the fishing was
excellent. One could sum all that up, and'
look for pleasant results I think.
Milton and his friend came up in the
early train, and by• eight o'clock we were
on the bright, dancing river. We went
down with the tide about two miles, when
we anchored, the awning was put up and
we were soon dipping our lines down to
catch the unwary fish. I caught a good
many, while poor mamma did not have a
single bite, and Lieut. Lockhart caught
two eels; thereat did very well. I caught
a' tremendous; horrible eel. ' I wanted it
flung back, but papa would keep it, and, it'
flapped about in the bottom of the .boat in
the most odious way. He actually took it
home and had it cooked for his supper 1
About one o'clock we found a pleasant
spot to anchor, so we took our , baskets and
went ashore, where we had a merrylunch
under the trees, after-war& " we four , '
took
a long walk, while papa sat under the'trees
smoking, and mamma read Adam Bode
aloud to him.. We got home in time to
have our fish cooked for supper, the gentle
men staid until the late train, and Margaret
played for them, but not as she did the
night before.
• It is true that they, i.e., Milton and. Robert
- Lockhart, have rings alike. I tried to coax
Milton to tell mawho they were for.- At last
he said they were for their ladies; then
he said one was my engagement ring, and
the other my wedding ring, and a lot more
of such stuff . I did not •speak of them to
the other, for I am on very different terms
with him. Milton; I talk to just as-I would
to a brother, providing I had one; but
Lieut. Lockhart is so 'dignified and respect
-Ail, I feel likb an old lady with him: But
we had a very pleasant week together.
Good night, little book.
JUNE 277 a, 1868.—Dear Me, I was sick
yesterday 1 I expect that it was from
rowing in the sun, and then I forgot to say
',.tbat I took a walk down the lane in a deep
fog, and took. cold, I expect. I had a terri
ble sick headache, with pains all over me.'
I was cold and hot by turns. Mamma was
very 'much worried, and I thought I was
surely going to be very sick, but this morn
ing I feel very well, except for a little
weakness.
I had a letter today from Lizzie Clark.
She says -that it is reported that Kate Taylor
,b
is toe 'married, and to---Lieut. Lockhart !
What xionse.nsel I don't- believe a word of
it. She 'ia pretty and pleasant,. but, well I
won't write any more for f ear I shall say
something foolish.

String 29TH, 1883.—(Binei3 found to be
the 80th.) It is now late in the afternoon,
almost twilight. We have been alone all
day, Neither of the gentlemen. came up. I
think they will certainly yet c t e l forithey
would not go away without owning up to
bid mamma goodbye.
But something has happens / something
so inexplicable that I have tot dared to
speak of it. And I feel • socerly lam
afraid of myself. I feel exact 'as if some
thing had happened, spinet g of great
importance, something ve asant, and
yet something ry:
'tht was inv ed in more
disagreeable circumstances, I suppose
that all this feeling may be xplained by
this sad circumstance.. This rrning when
I awakened, I laid lazily ibed, 'feeling
inert and rather weak, lo ing at the
glimpses of white sails pa in g up and
down the river, when sudden] on my hand
I spied a ruby ring! My het gave such
a jump it almost choked. I looked
again, and my own pearl o was gone !
I felt almost crazy, I was so ghtened. I
know it is one of their rings,but how did
rk
it come on my finger ! All day long I have
been asking myself this qUestikn.
It was put on in the night ol course. By
whom? It must have been me of the
family, but mamma never lays tricks.
Papa would not do such a thin , and surely
jo
Margaret is too dignified to d Anything of
the kind. It must have been one of the
servants. It then is most certainly very, im
pertinent. And which of them, Milton or
Robert Lockhart, would engage in such
an affair ? I think they are both gentlemen,
and I do not think it would be very gentle
manly.to hire a servant to take my ring
and put another on my finger—and how
was it done without awakening me ? I
thought perhaps (me of the servants found
it, and for mischief—mischief I shall resent
severely if I find out the culprit who put it on
my hand. But where is Mine ? I have a
hundred conjectures, but all of them foolish.
But I have 'locked the ruby up and will
wait. some development. I shall most as
suredly not wear .it. I do wish I knew I
It makes my cheeks tingle to think of it.
Everything seems, to have gone wrong,
mamma talks so queerly. She actually sent
for the "doctor to see me. She has taken it
into ;her,- head that I am sick, and says. I
looked miserably yesterday. Then they
all make such odd allusions that I do not
half understand, but I feel so in amaze' I
de not dare to ask. Once I said it was
queer that they did not come up to bid us
goodbye, and ':Margaret looked at me so
queerly. • Whit a goose, actually staining
my paper with tears, but I feel weak and
out of sorts. Oh, dear I •
Several times to-day she has looked at
me in the same .odd way; then she had a
long talk with-mamma; the dootor was sent
for, asked me' a few questions, then staid
down. stair-An the parlor ever so long with
Mamma, and wrote. his prescription there.
I .don't like all this if• it is all about me. I
WMh they would tell me, but I will never,
never ask them. All this, together with
the ring, makes me feel very, badly, and
I don't like Milton to go away, perhaps
never to come back, without seeing me.
But if I go on, I will have such red eyes I
will be ashamed to go to the table, and
there comes the boat up. I must hurry and
not let papa catch the looking'so.
• BEryrnsE.—Papa brought me a note from
Kate. She says, "I saw a pearl ring, on the
finger of a certain gentleman, and guessed
quick enough what it all meant, and why
the other looked like a ghost." I shall be
sick if this-goes on any longer. Oh, who
has got my nng ?
JULY 3n, 1803.—1 have been ,very sick
with an attack of intermittent fever. The
day I was so sick after boating it Seems was
the first attack. The doctor says if it had
been treated at first I would have • escaped
all the most serious symptoms, but I was
so much better the next day, I thought no
-more of it. I cannot make out how the
attacks have been regular, but mamma says
they have been.
I am much better to-day, and the doctor
says I am almost welL But I feel weak
and badly. ,
It must be Lieut. Lockhart who has my
ring. I have had two notes from him. He
writes just as if we were engaged. , I think
it a little too presumptuous, and as soon as
I am well enough, will write and demand
my ring and an explanation.
I fear they are fighting to-day. The city
is in a perfeet"turnult. Papa has been busy
on the fortifications -for days; I expect
they are with their. regiment. Nobody
knows where the Army of the Potomac is,
but, every one thinks they are on the way
to. Pennsylvania. Oh, if Milton is .only
saved !
RELY 6TH, , ' 1863.—Nothing for me this
morning. The last news from the battle
field was up to ten o'clock yesterday. Ido
priy we maybe saved from invasion. The
.
. Army of the Potomac has been fightmg. No
one knows how they came, but they sprang
up like magic on the spot. The tight has
been near. Gettysburg, and has been very
severe. Little did I Ihink, - that bright fall
day, when Robert Lockhart and'•l rode by
the cemetery there, and through the pleas
ant lanes, how my sick heart would look
toward those scenes. Of course no news
from' any one—not even from regiments.
But I know the Second Corps is engaged;
they always fight, and I expect Milton and
the Lieutenant were both; engaged. What
will become of poor Mrs. Lockhart, if her
son is killed ?
JITLY 9.111.-LHave been sick-again—wor
ried about the war-news. Of course -I am
glad that we are victorious, and that those
wicked men are driven back; but still I feel
very: badly. .I have friends in our army;
none, am glad to say, in the other,
although I have no doubt there are some
very g9od men, and some very agreeable
ones, among them; but my friends are all
good men and true, except Mr. Henderson,
who is ;a' real Copperhead, and for these
friends I feel anxious. I have looked evere
day for Milton's name, hoping and fearing,
but I have seen nothing of it. I know the
regiment was engaged. How anxious Mrs.
Lockhart must be. I would go and see her
if I *as well enough, and yet I would not
like to.
Dior silly girl l I could not resist the
temptation of taking out the ring to-day
and wearing it, turning the jewel inside,
however.
JAY lOvu—Lieut. Lockhart's name in
the list, severely wounded. This is all I
know.
EvEruno.--Papa told me at supper that
Milton is also reported wounded in the
shoulder. He said their names were in the
same, Ust' I did not see it. I hope he will
be broiight home, where he - will be well
nursed, and we can hear from him often.
Mrs. , Lockhart and Mr. Hamilton have gone
on. , •
JULY 11771.—N0 news. Margaret has
been in her room all day crying. She keeps
a journal also—l wonder if it hints at as
~much misery as mine, for I am very, very
miserable, but I dare not show it. If I was
well enough to take long walks 'I would be
better, but I am still too weak.
.Tor.v . Msg.—Milton. Hamilton and Lieut.
Lockhart have both been brought home.
The latter has sent for me. I cannot refuse
to go. He is very sick. lam waiting for
mamma, fo'r I have been ready for ajong
time. It is nearly time for the boat. •
JuLy 20TH, lB6B.—How much his hap
• pened since I wrote I I am no longer Julia
OraWford, but Mrs. Lockhart I Not a week
• since I wrote my last journal,and how little
Pd lained it-then] \
• How ihni where shall I begin * ? I am not
sure I ciiii write long,• it depends upon
• Robert. He is now asleep, sleeping more
quietly than he has since he was wounded.
I am of course at his mother's, and although
very much...worried, I have a sense of re
pot; of rest,•l have never in my,life before
experienced. The doctor says he has every
hope of my husband's—how strange to
write those two words—recovery, but it
will be slow and tedious. At first they
were afraid his arm would have, to be am
putated, but they now hope to save it. His
previous wound made this more dangerous.
But--well; as mamma and I were ,walking
down to the Charlie -Lock
hart, who bade brought the note from his
mother, was loitering behind, mamma said
she_wanted,to have .a talk with me after we
reached the boat, that she had Olt off too
long on account of; my sickness. I half
dreaded it, but an gld friend of hers was on
the boat,so she did not get anopportunity,
and rwas not sorry. When we got 'to his
house ha,te,ard my voice instantly, although
I never speak loudly, and I had to go up

said. I could not write it, but he spoke of
my promise; , Of. things I had said, until I
was perfectly bewildered. He saw it,
although I tried not tO let him, for I might
have said all this, and he was so sick, that
even it he-fiad been only,a friend,.L.would,
hardly have dared to contradigt him • lOW

until I'proniiiied - to stay with him, and then
.he looked . SO forlorn whenever I left the
room, so afraid I would - not stay; - and he
was so ,very, very sick, that when papa
'came I took • him into the parlor and told
him I ivanted•to marry. Robert right away.
`Of course he was very unwilling, but the ,

cemented; and before ten o'clock tharnight

PRESS. PHILADELPHIA:; MONDAY, AUG=UST 8, 1864:
I almost forget a phase of my own sickness
which makes me feel very badly, but'which
I cannot help laughing at every time I
think of it.
It seems that in that -blessed little city
there is a form of intermittent fever called
"intermittent insanity," a very unsuitable
name, for it means nothing more than a
loss of memory. The patient during the
attack behaves in a perfectly reasonable
manner, nothing seems amiss, but after
ward they lose all memory - of everything
that happened during the period. It rarely
occurs more than once. :Dr. Carr, when
Margaret asked him " why.?" sagely replied
"we always , prevent it." Bo why should
it be called ' intermittent ?V It seems that
when I had my first attack, the day that
Robert and Milton came up to bid us good
bye, Robert - and I walked down on the
• river bank, he told me he loved . me, we
exchanged rings, I promised to write to
him, and I forgot it ! Was there ever any
. thing so absurd ? • • .f..;
Mamma says I was not *ell; I was very
pale, but not sick as I was - the day I was
taken sick. Margaret first suspected it; .
she quietly sounded . me,..found I knew
'nothing of what happened the day previous,
se she. told • mamma, whO was terribly.
frightened, and who sent immediately for
e doctor, who somewhat re-assured her,
dt n o e ld ver he w r i : several .cases • similar to
m ne, which had not probed at-all serious i
a I have never had a recurrence, and I
ho ie
apa nor mamma _have never known the
wl e of it. I know papa would never
ceteasing: me, and I .have: enough tO
ben ,from Robert; who tells me of the most
ridi nlous things that he affirms I said and.
di ' . Margaret knows, but she will never
say anything about It. 'She thinks it a
greai pity I was 'not allowed to have a
sec* attack, when I might perhaps have
rembered what occurred during the.
r
first I Milton is much better. Poor fellow,
he h suffered eery lnuch.
I limit gb down and ask "tnother" (how

Mesa's= 81st, 1863.—,Thellast day of
the old year f• I wonder. if the new one

I hope not, o -I hope noti I am happy
I n
now; my hap ness . could dot be doubted,
and I would t have - it lessened. We are

stay with me. Margaret lives with papa
and mamma, and so-makes my absence
lighter to lf she and Milton-Hamil

it would be f mplete, but she is so perverse.
However, b uld I have conquered my love
