Now anxiety is at an end, and joy reigns, born of the knowledge that by his speedy surrender he has proved himself her own indeed, and she herself indispensable to his content.,"No," he replied, "I am in a hurry; I cannot stop.",Her voice falters. Instinctively she looks round for help. She feels deserted,—alone. No one speaks.
