itations we've had, after a
long time, write and tell me that you're happy, won't you?"

She had put her arm around the slender waist, and faced Madame le
Claire, gazing at her intently. Le Claire kissed her forehead, and
looked long, with the varicolored eyes, into those of Elizabeth. She
seemed to speak in that way, as an easier mode of communication at this
time than by the words which would not come in any adequate form. So
the two girls stood as Professor Blatherwick came in and noticed the
labors of Aaron.

"Packing, Clara?" said he. "Vell, vere shall ve vork te hypot'esis ant
te bublic next? I shall pe glad vunce more to hit te pike. Dis gase,
vile supliminally great stuff, is pretty vell vorked out: not?"

"Quite worked out," said Clara, "to the end; indeed, indeed, it is
completely worked out!"

Elizabeth's arm tightened about her waist, and Elizabeth's breath was
caught in a quick little sigh. Madame le Claire replied to these
inarticulate expressions of sympathy as if they had been words.

"Don't think that!" said she, looking Elizabeth again steadily in the
face. "Don't let that haunt your mind in this new life of yours; for
it will not be so. Let us be friends though we never meet. Yes, I
will write to you; but it will not be necessary. Whenever you think of
me, this is what you will think, because I command it: 'She is busy
with her wandering life. New things are dimming the memory of me--and
mine. She has found the love her soul covets. She is happy!'"
