other.

William sang loudest of all; Mr. Parcher had at no time any difficulty
in recognizing his voice.

"Oh, I love my love in the morning
And I love my love at night,
I love my love in the dawning,
And when the stars are bright.
Some may love the sunshine,
Others may love the dew.
Some may love the raindrops,
But I love only you-OO-oo!
By the stars up above
It is you I luh-HUV!
Yes, _I_ love own-LAY you!"

They sang it four times; then Mr. Bullitt sang his solo, "Tell her, O
Golden Moon, how I Adore her," William following with "The violate loves
the cowslip, but _I_ love YEW," and after that they all sang, "Oh, I
love my love in the morning," again.

All this while that they sang of love, Mr. Parcher was moving to and fro
upon his bed, not more than eighteen feet in an oblique upward-slanting
line from the heads of the serenaders. Long, long he tossed, listening
to the young voices singing of love; long, long he thought of love, and
many, many times he spoke of it aloud, though he was alone in the room.
And in thus speaking of it, he would give utterance to phrases and
words probably never before used in connection with love since the world
began.
