"Yes, Jane."
I rang the bell and ordered away the tray. When we were again
alone, I stirred the fire, and then took a low seat at my master's
knee.
"It is near midnight," I said.
"Yes: but remember, Jane, you promised to wake with me the night
before my wedding."
"I did; and I will keep my promise, for an hour or two at least:
I have no wish to go to bed."
