Those never loved Who dream that they 'loved once.'-E. B. Browning. You won't be long any way, dear Auntie? said Sylvia with a little sigh. I don't half like your going. Couldn't you wait till the day after to-morrow? Or at least take me with you, said Molly, Sylvia's younger sister, eagerly. Auntie hesitated-she glanced up at as much of the sky as could be seen through the lace-shrouded windows of their pretty Paris salon-it was already beginning to grow dusky, for though only half-past three, it was the thirty-first of December, and a dull day-and then turned with decision towards the door. No, dears, she said; I shall go more quickly alone. Sylvia's cold would be none the better for going out so late, and I would rather you, Molly, stayed with her. So good-bye, darlings; I shall not be long. I should not like to think of poor Sylvia sitting alone in the gloaming, to-day of all days, said Auntie to herself as she made her way down the three flights of handsome marble stairs which led to their appartement. I can see she is very sad-remembering how different it was this day last year. And dear Molly's good spirits are an inestimable blessing. Ah, my darlings, I may do my best, I will do my best, but I cannot make up to you for grandmother; and with the tears in her eyes, and many a tender thought in her heart, Auntie made her way along the street.
