"What then ?" Dinah's mouth grew suddenly firm.

"I will come," she said.
"You will ?" His keen eyes held hers with smiling compulsion.
"Yes, I will." He made a gesture as if he would take her hand, but restrained himself, and paused to tip the ash once more off his cigarette.
"Now tell me!" commanded Dinah.
"I don't think I will," he said deliberately.
"But you must!" said Dinah.
His eyes sought hers again with that look which she found it impossible to meet.

She bent over her cup.
"What will you show me ?" she persisted.

"Tell me!" "I didn't say I would show you anything," he pointed out.

"I said I might." "Tell me what it was anyhow!" she said.
He leaned nearer to her, and suddenly it seemed to her that they were quite alone, very far removed from the rest of the world.
