" * He sent them word I had not gone
(We know it to be true):
If she should push the matter on,
What would become of you?

* My notion was that you had been

Him, and ourselves, and it.

Don't let him know she liked them best,
For this must ever be
A secret, kept from all the rest,
Between yourself and me.'
