fire. How can you say it is not logical?'

'It certainly cannot be said if one takes your view,' Greif answered,
laughing. 'But then, if you look at love in the same way, you get the
same result. People who love each other are happy and people who
quarrel are not.'

'Yes; but then, love does not only consist in not quarrelling.'

'Nor religion in not being a sinner--but I am not sure--' Greif
interrupted himself. 'Perhaps that is just what religion means.'

'Then why cannot love mean something quite as simple?'

'It seems simple enough to me. So long as we are everything to each
other we shall understand it quite enough.'

'Just so long--'

'And that means for ever.'

'How do you know, unless you have some knowledge by which you can tell
whether your love is true or not?'

'Why not yours, sweetheart?'

'Oh! I know myself well enough. I shall never change. But you--you
might--'

'Do you not believe me?'
