Jennie watched him nervously, her hands trembling. Its possible of course Her eyes
suddenly filled with tears and she threw herself into hisarms. And then it happened
the
litte thing, trivial and insignificant, that makes and unmakes life. For a long
while no
words were spoken. With gentle touch he soothedher trembling body, bending to kiss
the
waves of rich brown hair. She pushed him at arms lenght at last and looked up
smiling. I
cant help it I love you.

When will you learn that we must trust where we love He stopped suddenly. Her brown
eyes were fixed with terror on a single strand of curling blond hair cought on the

curiously. Yes I have a rival A rival Her eyes pierced him. Your love for the Union
I have

laws
of God and nature. I love you. I worship you. We are not enemies. We never have
been we

and
give you up tto the death you have earned. You can deliver me to execution Yes was
