it merely happened so, but I am more inclined to think 
that the one no longer C8.red to live without the other,

creatures it will not be denied these two or vouchsafed 
them on terms less mutually intimate than those enjoyed by 
them while living. However, all that may be regarded, 
everyone who takes interest in this avian romance must 
admit that it had a singularly appro]^)riate ending.
