were her pictures, most of them her own purchases in Europe; and her
books and what she thought of them; and her thousand little knick-knacks

of the house.
"These are the photographs of my real friends," said Leonore, "except
yours. I want you to give me one to complete my rack."
"I haven't had a photograph taken in eight years, and am afraid I have
none left."
"Then you must sit."
"Very well. But it must be an exchange." Peter almost trembled at his
boldness, and at the thought of a possible granting.
"Do you want mine?"
"Very much."
"I have dozens," said Leonore, going over to her desk, and pulling open
a drawer. "I'm very fond of being taken. You may have your choice."
"That's very difficult," said Peter, looking at the different varieties.
"Each has something the rest haven't. You don't want to be generous, and
let me have these four?"
"Oh, you greedy!" said Leonore, laughing.
