It was when they were in Amaryllis's own little coupe very close to each other that strong temptation assailed Denzil. He suddenly felt his pulses throbbing wildly and it was with the greatest difficulty he prevented himself from clasping her in his arms. He tried to look out of the window and take an interest in the park, which was entered very soon after leaving the station.
But John, left alone, sank down into the same chair as he had done once before on the night he was waiting for Denzil, and, as then, he buried his face in his hands. The next day they met at breakfast. John had not slept at all and was very pale and Amaryllis's eyes still showed the deepened violet shadows from much weeping. But they were both quite calm.
What right had he to have taken this young and loving woman and then to have used her for his own aims, however high? "Amaryllis you cannot forgive me. I see now that I was wrong." But the sympathy which she had felt when she had looked at him from the piano welled up again in Amaryllis's heart and drowned all resentment.
