What a dinner we had, gay as two children, fond and foolish as
sweethearts always are,--and then the afterwards!
"Let us go and see the streets," my little love implored, "I feel that
we should shout our divine happiness with the crowd!"
But when we went out on the balcony to investigate, we saw that would be
impossible, I am not yet steady enough on my feet to have faced that
throng. So we stood there and sang and cheered with them, as they swept
on towards the _Arc de Triomphe_, and gradually a delirious intoxication
held us both, and I drew her back into the softly lighted room.
"Lover!" she whispered as she melted into my arms, and all I answered
was, "Soul of Mine."
And now I know what the whole of those verses mean!
And so this Journal is done!
