Was Grizel wasting a moment when she looked only at him, her eyes filmy with love, the crooked smile upon her face so happy that it could not stand still?
Her arms made a slight gesture towards him; her hands were open; she was giving herself to him.

For a fraction of time the space between them seemed to be annihilated.

His arms were closing round her.

Then she knew that neither of them had moved.
"Grizel!" He tried to be true to her by deceiving her.
