Now! Yes or no ?" She drew on her own cloak and fastened the clasp with shaking fingers.
Then she turned towards the door.
"I wish you good-bye and good fortune, Reginald," she said.

"I daresay we may not meet again.

It will be better that we do not." "This then is your answer ?" he cried.
She looked around at him.

Was it his fancy, or were those tears in her eyes?

"Do you think," she said, "that if I had not cared I should have come here ?" "Tell me that in plain words," he cried.

"It is all I ask." The door was suddenly opened.
