When the moon lay dying.
You will miss the perfume sweet
OF our southern flowers,
And review with anguish meet
All those bygone hours.
For the blue of northern eyes
Never yet could hold you,
You will ponder on the lies
That mine orbs have told you.
You all are bound though seeming
Filled with vague regretting,
While you still remember me,

Sadie felt she had made her little
protest.

One afternoon Sadie sat alone upon
the verandah. She had spent part of
the morning quarrelling with Harry,
and felt remorseful. She had been in
the wrong. Frank and Lee were
hunting, as usual; Bella and Foster
gone on horseback, for the last two
hours.
Harry was somewhere on the place.
She started out to find him.
