"It will do beautifully," Longueville answered, in a happy tone, looking at her and plying his brush.

"It is immensely good of you to take so much trouble." For a moment she made no rejoinder, but presently she said-- "Of course if I pose at all I wish to pose well." "You pose admirably," said Longueville.

Her prettiness inspired him, and also her audacity, as he was content to regard it for the moment.
