Bird and have come hither. A smile trembled at the corners of her mouth as she recalled Gerald’s ridiculous upbraiding of his own reflection in the mirror. . “Ye Gods!” she said at last. Heaven knows what dim and tawdry conceptions of passion and desire were in that blond cranium, what romance-begotten dreams of intrigue and adventure! but they sufficed, when presently Ann Veronica went out into the darkling street again, to inspire a flitting, dogged pursuit, idiotic, exasperating, indecent. Her amusement fled and she stared at him, as a slow thump began beating at her breast. ” Lucy answered, disturbed at how rehearsed the apology sounded.
