"Phil, dear, I do not blame you for one instant. Why do you say you
ever failed in anything? It was entirely my fault. But I am so

like you. I can look into my mirror now--for a moment or two.
"It is brave of you to be so frank about what you think came over
us. I can discuss nothing, admit nothing; but you always did reason
more clearly than I. Still, whatever spell it was that menaced us I
know very well could not have threatened you seriously; I know it
because you reason about it so logically. So it could have been
nothing serious. Love alone is serious; and it sometimes comes
slowly, sometimes goes slowly; but if you desire it to come
quickly, close your eves! And if you wish it to vanish, _reason
about it_!
"We are on very safe ground again, Phil; you see we are making
little epigrams about love.
