Scarce more than silence is, and yet a sound. "Nothing," replied the old man. "I fell down and spilled my arrows, and I am putting them back." Stooping, he presses his lips to her hand for the first time. The caress is long and fervent. "And see what we gained by our haste," says Dorothy, smiling at Mona. "You can't think what a charming sight it was. Like an old legend or a fairy-tale. Was it a minuet you were dancing?".
