"But I'll have to ask you to wait a long time, Anne,"
said Gilbert sadly. "It will be three years before
I'll finish my medical course. And even then there
will be no diamond sunbursts and marble halls."
Anne laughed.
"I don't want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU.
You see I'm quite as shameless as Phil about it. Sunbursts and
marble halls may be all very well, but there is more `scope for
imagination' without them. And as for the waiting, that doesn't
matter. We'll just be happy, waiting and working for each other
-- and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now."
Gilbert drew her close to him and kissed her. Then they walked
home together in the dusk, crowned king and queen in the bridal
realm of love, along winding paths fringed with the sweetest
flowers that ever bloomed, and over haunted meadows where winds
of hope and memory blew.
