we change places everything will be
terribly mixed up. There is only one way out of it, Jess, and you know
what that is. You must be my wife. It is you I want more than
anything else in the world. I asked you once before, and you told me
to wait. But now I can wait no longer. Oh, Jess, tell me that you
love me, and will be my wife."

For a few seconds an intense silence reigned. Then the girl, her eyes
misty with tears, turned her face to her lover's, and laid her hand in
his.

"Take me, John," she simply said. "I am yours."

With his face radiant with joy, John enfolded her in his arms, and
pressed his lips to hers.

"I agree with you now," he whispered, "that this is a perfect ending of
a perfect day."

"And the beginning of many perfect days, let us hope," was the girl's
low, happy reply.
