Then he knew he had done something.
But he had not forgotten Caroline.

He was walking one day in the Zoological Gardens and he came upon a pretty picture,--flesh and blood too.
Lady Caroline feeding buns to the bears! An exquisite thrill passed through his veins.

She turned her sweet face and their eyes met.

They recollected their first meeting seven years before, but it was his turn to be shy and timid.

Wonderful power of age and sex! She met him with perfect self-possession.
"Well meant, but indigestible I fear" (he alluded to the buns).
"A clever person like yourself can easily correct that" (she, the slyboots, was thinking of something else).
In a few moments they were chatting gayly.
