'God forgive me, dear!' I made haste to reply.

'I never saw before that there were two sides to this!' And I told her my tale as briefly as I could, and rose to seek Ronald.

'You see, my dear, you are obeyed,' I said.
She gave me a look that was a reward in itself; and as I turned away from her, with a strong sense of turning away from the sun, I carried that look in my bosom like a caress.

The girl in pink was an arch, ogling person, with a good deal of eyes and teeth, and a great play of shoulders and rattle of conversation.

There could be no doubt, from Mr.Ronald's attitude, that he worshipped the very chair she sat on.
