I think that Heaven must have laid some curse upon me." Her face was close to mine. I stooped forward and kissed her on her brow. "May God have you in His keeping, Madonna mia," I murmured. "The sun is gone."
Enoch rose with her and stood leaning against the tree trunk, watching her with tragic eyes. Finally Diana said: "I'm not clever at argument, but every woman has a right to fight for her mate. I insist that your reasons for not marrying are chimeras. And if I'm willing to risk marrying the man who may or may not be the son of Luigi's mistress, he should be willing to risk marrying me."
