Young people who need a love potion very seldom

8、have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion.人 I am glad to hear that,said Alan.人 I look at it like this,said the old man.人 Please acustomer with one article, and he will come back when he needs another. Even if it is more costly. He will save up for it, if necessary.人 So,

9、 said Alan, 人 you really do sell love potions?人 If I did not sell love potions,said the old man, reachingfor another bottle,人 I should not have mentioned the other matterjust ！ er ！to you.

She will want nothing but solitude, and you.人 I can hardly believe it,said Alan. 人 She is so fond ofparties.人 She will not like them any more,said the old man.人 Shewill be afraid of the pretty girls you may meet.人 She will actually be jealous?cried Alan in a rapture.人 Ofme?一人 Yes, sh

13、e will want to be everything to you.人 She is, already. Only she doesn " t care about it.人 She will, when she has taken this. She will care intensely. You will be her sole interest in life.人 Wonderful! cried Alan.A She will want to know all you do,said the old man.A Allthat has happened to you d

15、d. If you are an hour late, she will be terrified. She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you.人 I can hardly imagine Diana like that!cried Alan,overwhelmed with joy.人 You will not have to use your imagination,said the old man.人 And, by the way, since there are always sirens, if

16、 by any chance you should, later on, slip a little, you need not worry. She will forgive you, in the end.
