It's quite all right, little 'un, is it?
You're not--sorry ?" She caught the anxiety in the words as she clung to him.

"I--don't think so," she whispered back.

"Only I--I'm rather frightened, Jack." "There's no need, darling," said Jack, and kissed her very tenderly.
"He's a good fellow--the best of fellows.

He's sworn to me to make you happy." She was trembling a little in his hold.

"He--doesn't want to marry me yet, does he ?" she asked, nervously.
He put a very gentle hand upon her head.
