A WIFE COMES BACK
"—She is still here,"—"Thank God. Let her know;
She'll pardon a comer so late as this
Whom she'd fain not miss."
She received him—an ancient dame,
Who hemmed, with features frozen and numb,
"How strange!—I'd almost forgotten your name!—
A call just now—is troublesome;
Why did you come?”
