Harry held his breath and watched him, fascinated, as he proceeded to trace the ring. "Oh, no, he didn't neither," laughed Billy. "He can't be that foolish." She did not realize what a perfect picture she presented, with her golden hair wind-strewn, her red lips parted, and the old joy singing in her heart and kindling a light in her eyes.
