And all night long the light burned behind the closed blinds of her room; and the little silvery dusk-moths floated in and out of the rays. And Hafiz, sitting on the grass, watched them sometimes; sometimes he gazed at his young mistress out of wide, unblinking eyes. "Hafiz," she murmured lazily in her sweetly humorous way. The cat uttered a soft little mew but did not move. And when she laid her cheek close to Clive's whispering,--"I love you--I love you so!"--he never stirred. Her blue eyes, brooding, grew patient, calm, and tender; she looked down silently into the little face close cradled in her arms. Then the child's eyes opened like two blue stars; and she bent over in a swift ecstasy of bliss, covering the flower-like face with kisses. THE END Novels by Robert W.
