Lucy. There ! I think that will do, although it isn't anything
very great. [Rises.'] What a colour I must have ! Harold says
I always manage to toast myself very much better than I do the
bread. [Lights the gas, and begins arranging some flowers on the
table.] His favourite flowers; I know he will be pleased when
he sees them. How stränge it is that he should really care for
me !—I, who am so commonplace and ordinary, hardly pretty
either, although he says I am. I always teil him he might have
done so much better than propose to a poor governess without a
penny.—Oh, if only his book proves a success !—a really great
success !—how glorious it will be ! Why doesn't the wretched
publisher
