Excerpt from A Dangerous Guest I do not hesitate, he continued, with a grave smile through his tears. Trees die in a new soil, it is true, but then trees haven't hearts, you see, and old men have, and affections and family ties, and that brings new considera tions into the matter. If you go yonder, I go also, that is certain, continued the old man, slowly. My other grandchild may be dear to me one day, but she can never be to me what you are. You thought, silly child, I was hesi tating just now! Ah, old men are egotists, but they are not like cats, who care more for famil iar places than familiar friends. I should miss thee a little, thou seest, my pet. As her grandfather uttered these words, with tender playfulness, Josephine flung her arms round his neck, and kissed him passionately.
