Why do you ask ? You know I am always glad to see you . I was afraid you would not come . You did not come last night and I was so sorry . Nothing in the orchard seemed nice any longer . I could n't even play . I tried to , and my violin only cried . I waited until it was dark and then I went home . '' `` I am sorry you were disappointed , Kilmeny . I could n't come last night . Some day I shall tell you why . I stayed home to learn a new lesson . I am sorry you missed me -- no , I am glad . Can you understand how a person may be glad and sorry for the same thing ? '' She nodded again , with a return of her usual sweet composure . `` Yes , I could not have understood once , but I can now . Did you learn your new lesson ? '' `` Yes , very thoroughly . It was a delightful lesson when I once understood it . I must try to teach it to you some day .
Come over to the old bench , XXXXX .
