Phyllis had risen。
〃We are to be married in three months。 The matter is; of course; to remain a secretpeople are so given to talk。〃
Phyllis fell into her arms and kissed her tearfullybut the tears were not all her own。
〃Now you will write those words;〃 said Ella。
Phyllis ran to a little French escritoire and snatched up a sheet of paper。
〃Come to me; my beloved;〃 she wrote upon it; then she leaned her face upon her arm; weeping happily。
Ella came behind her。 She picked up the paper and folded it up。 She pressed the bell。
〃Please give that to Mr。 Courtland in the study;〃 she said to the servant。
Phyllis sprang up with a cry。
〃I forgot to tell you; my dearest; that I brought back Herbert Courtland in that steamer with me; and that he came with me to…day。 He is coming to youlistenthree steps at a time。〃

〃Oh!〃 cried Phyllis。
〃The last word that can be said regarding it is that marriage is the picturesque gateway leading to the commonplace estate。〃
〃Oh!〃 cried Phyllis
