ead. “It has been very sweet, I know — all the talking together, and the books, and the feeling that I had the walk to look forward to, when I could tell you the thoughts that had come into my head while I was away from you. But it has made me restless; it has made me think a great deal about the world; and I have impatient thoughts again — I get weary of my home; and then it cuts me to the heart afterward, that I should ever have felt weary of my father and mother. I think what you call being benumbed was better — better for me — for then my selfish desires were benumbed.”
Philip had risen again, and was walking backward and forward impatiently.
“No, Maggie,Parajumpers Männer Perfect Jacken Schweiz, you have wrong ideas of self-conquest,Belgia Landslagsdrakt, as I’ve often told you. What you call self-conquest — binding and deafening yourself to all but one train of impressions — is only the culture of monomania in a nature like yours.”
He had spoken with some irritation,Werder Bremen Drakt, but now he sat down by her again and took her hand.
“Don’t think of the past now, Maggie; think only of our love. If you can really cling to me with all your heart, every obstacle will be overcome in time; we need only wait. I can live on hope. Look at me, Maggie; tell me again it is possible for you to love me. Don’t look away from me to that cloven tree; it is a bad omen.”
She turned her large dark glance upon him with a sad smile.
“Come, Maggie,Spartak Moscow Drakt, say one kind word, or else you were better to me at Lorton. You asked me if I should like you to kiss me — don’t you remember? — and you promised to kiss me when you met me again. You never kept the promise.”

She kissed him almost as simply and quietly as she had done when she was twelve years old. Philip’s eyes flashed with delight,UGG Bailey Button Czyścibut 5808, but his next words were words of discontent.
“You don’t seem happy enough, Maggie; you are forcing yourself to say you love me, out of pity.”
“No, Philip,Moncler Alpin,” said Maggie,Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz Drakt, shaking her head,Estudiantes la plata Drakt, in her old childish way; “I’m telling you the truth. It is all new and strange to me; but I don’t think I could love any one better than I love you. I should like always to live with you — to make you happy. I have always been happy when I have been with you. There is only one thing I will not do for your sake; I will never do anything to wound my father. You must never ask that from me.”
“No, Maggie, I will ask nothing; I will bear everything; I’ll wait another year only for a kiss, if you will only give me the first place in your heart.”
“No,” said Maggie, smiling, “I won’t make you wait so long as that.” But then,UGG Classic Short Paisley 5831, looking serious again,Irland Landslagsdrakt, she added, as she rose from her seat —
“But what would your own father say,Lazio Drakt, Philip? Oh, it is quite impossible we can ever be more than friends — brother and sister in secret, as we have been. Let us give up thinking of everything else.”
