Fortescue were still like lovers, after twenty years of married life. Broussard fell into a delicious reverie that lasted until he heard the clang of the changing sentries at two o'clock in the morning.

But there was nothing mystical about her; she was just modest and full of pleasant silences and soft gaieties and simple, startling truth-telling.
