She listened by the first window, and by the second and third, and at the door, and then beyond, till she came to the last. There were voices there, and her heart beat quickly for a moment. It was impossible to distinguish the words that were spoken, through the closed window and the heavy curtains, but the mere tones told her that Don John and Dolores were there together.
Now, a thought which had been growing up in my heart for these many days came to the surface, as it were, and I had almost spoken it.

And then, wonder of wonders and delight of delights! our hands somehow touched, and our fingers closed together and did not part.
