The duke loses his head a little. He lays his hands lightly on her arm, yet his touch seems to burn through her gown into her very flesh. He stoops towards her.

She steps a little to one side, and, throwing up her head with a faint touch of coquetry that sits very sweetly on her, glances triumphantly at Geoffrey, as though fully conscious that she is looking exquisite as a dream.
