WHY JESUS WEPT
35
SIR PERCY.
And you—how old are you ?
ANGELA.
That is a rude, rude boy !
SIR PERCY.
Oh, I am so sorry, I forgot.
ANGELA.
I will tell you, though. I am all but twenty-two !
SIR PERCY.
That is young yet.
ANGELA.
Ah, in your eyes I see sadness—I breathe ; I hope.
Think deeply in yourself, if you love this girl !
I am older than you, to be sure ; but not so much.
May be you would find my love a better thing than you
think !
Do I perspire now ? Do my cheeks run down nasty wet
tears ? Is my love a monotonous harping on one word ? Love,
Percy — dare I call you Percy ?
SIR PERCY.
If I may call you Angela.
