"YOu have mentioned Eugene once OF

who was evidently near at hand
"Eugene. where are Won, Eugene

And, truly enough, he was for slowly
emerging from the same holly bush
where I had observed the young dam

the same; we would get married at once,
and we would have the little place be
tween us, as [ feel lonesome in it all by
myself"
How large is the little place." in
