Now he patted her hand, as his eyes sought the window. Perhaps the old songs would come back even as the laughter had come and surprise him. Perhaps she was forgetting Stanhope. But no, much as he desired that this should be, he knew her too well for that.,CHAPTER VII DAVID'S TREAT,“Did ye come through the gap?” was his greeting in a mild, unsurprised tone.,“It’s all right then,” he muttered and stood up to reassure the crowd.，"I wish you wouldn't talk like that," says Mona, with a shudder.
