Still Sir Andrew was silent. "You do not trust me," she said passionately.
In her wide-open, beautiful eyes tears were gathering. Even then she did not lower her glance or bury her face in her hands, but looked at him bravely while the tear-drops glistened like diamonds on her cheeks. He felt his heart give way.

Sometimes she would pat her pony's neck, and say, "Trot on, dear Brownie, we'll soon be there!" by way of cheering herself: for certainly the Brownie needed no cheering, and was trotting on bravely.
