She seemed to be groping her way, though there was a dim illumination out there. Then she came through the door into the blackness of her room. "Jeems," she whispered. He went to her.
Her eyes drooped, and in the dim light I could mark the heaving of her bosom, as she caught her breath. "Only only the suggestion," she managed to say in a whisper. "He he was glad of that.
