Don't you see, _Maestro_, it kind of squares
things the tiniest bit?" She paused, adding, after a moment: "And it's
such a little price to pay--for love."

regarded her a moment in silence. Then, with a characteristic shrug of
his massive shoulders, he yielded.
"So, then, the most marvellous voice of the century is to be wasted
reading aloud to a Grand Duchess! Ah! Dearest of all my pupils, there
is no folly in all the world at once so foolish and so splendid as the
folly of love."
