When the doctor had taken himself off, and was walking past the library windows toward the curve of the avenue where it ran into the woods, Jen looked after him with a lowering face, and laid an inquiring finger on David's arm.，"I never will," I said in a hurry; "I want you to ask me anything in the world you want to, and I'll always do it.""I am glad to hear it is only 'admire,'" he remarked, slowly, "for had the word been any other I should have resented it."
