See how hard that poor little kid’s trying to bluff her tears!”，"I wonder when the moon will be full," says Geoffrey, making this ordinary remark in an everyday tone that does him credit, and speaks well for his kindliness and delicacy of feeling, as well as for his power of discerning character. He makes no well-turned speeches about the bay being even more enchanting under such circumstances, or any orthodox compliment that might have pleased a woman versed in the world's ways.，"Oh, stay?" she says, faintly, detaining him both by word and gesture.“I thought of it myself.”
