He got out of his bed in the middle of that night and went and stood looking down at Sara, who lay asleep with Emily in her arms.

Then he went with Sara into her little sitting room and they bade each other good-by.

Sara sat on his knee and held the lapels of his coat in her small hands, and looked long and hard at his face.

"Are you learning me by heart, little Sara?" he said, stroking her hair. "No," she answered. "I know you by heart. You are inside my heart."
