How Is It That Little

Darling, Replied Valentine, Has Not The Count Just Told Us That All Human Wisdom Was Contained In These Two Words,- "wait And Hope"?

That Is A Dream Also; Only He Has Remained Asleep, While You Have Awakened; And Who Knows Which Of You Is The Most Fortunate?

...for, However All Other Feelings May Be Withered In A Woman's Nature, There Is Always One Bright Smiling Spot In The Maternal Breast, And That Is Where A Dearly-beloved Child Is Concerned.

Besides We Are Men, And After All It Is Our Business To Risk Our Lives.

Within Six Months, If I Am Not Dead, I Shall Have Seen You Again, Madam--even If I Have To Overturn The World.
