Sonya rushed up to Lad, flinging her arms around him and trying to kiss him.
That will put him into a good humour, and it's perfectly true, too." The Gadfly was sitting beside a table covered with flowers and ferns, staring absently at the floor, with an open letter on his knee. A shaggy collie dog, lying on a rug at his feet, raised its head and growled as Gemma knocked at the open door, and the Gadfly rose hastily and bowed in a stiff, ceremonious way.
