His heart died in him.
"You don't think it ugly ?" he asked.
"No, not now.

You have TAUGHT me it isn't." "You are afraid ?" She calmed herself hastily.
"Yes, I am only afraid," she said.
He kissed her tenderly.
"Never mind," he said.

"You should please yourself." Suddenly she gripped his arms round her, and clenched her body stiff.
"You SHALL have me," she said, through her shut teeth.
His heart beat up again like fire.

He folded her close, and his mouth was on her throat.

She could not bear it.
