I ask one promise, said Harry. Once, and only once more, say within a year, but it may be much sooner, I may speak to you again on this subject, for the last time. Not to press me to alter my right determination, replied Rose, with a melancholy smile; it will be useless. No, said Harry; to hear you repeat it, if you will finally repeat it! I will lay at your feet, whatever of station or fortune I may possess; and if you still adhere to your present resolution, will not seek, by word or act, to change it. Then let it be so, rejoined Rose; it is but one pang the more, and by that time I may be enabled to bear it better. She extended her hand again. But the young man caught her to his bosom; and imprinting one kiss on her beautiful forehead, hurried from the room. |
