Presently there was the sound of

never moved.
He bent over her and whispered as
he dropped tiny parcel into her lap:
Many happy returns, darling!"
Her heart was mended. She sprang
to her feet and seized him in a frantic
grasp as she realized that, after all,
he still loved her. Then she opened
the parcel.
"Pipe-cleaners!" she gasped, as she
