So determined is her aspect that Geoffrey shows the white feather, and, crying "mea culpa," beats a hasty retreat. He is plainly surprised. He is indeed glad. His face changes, as if by magic, from sullen gloom to pleasurable anticipation. "Thank you," says Geoffrey, a little dryly, accepting her words as they are said, not as he feels they are meant..
