In after years, Davie often saw his wife
more richly attired, as glittering in jewels,
courted and caressed, she moved in gay

was she so lovely to him, as on that quiet
winter night, with her dark blue dress but
toned close to the fair white throat, and re.
lieved by its delicate lace collar, her rich

his pleaded reason was at length approved
and he wrote to Davie that he was at length
