came Olivia. Down the path she saw
Harold swinging and, o, her heart ached.
Then her eye fell on the gloves. With a shy
look ABOUT, she picked up one and pressed it
60 her lips. Now Wolf was a well-bred dog,

warm and full, and the tears rushed to her
eyes, so into her bosom she thrust the glove,
and fastened the lace at her throat over it.
