This seemed to Dickson's loyal soul but a chilly tribute. "I think he is in love with me," she continued. He looked up startled, and saw in her face that which gave him a view into a strange new world. He had thought that women blushed when they talked of love, but he eyes were as grave and candid as a boy's. Here was one who had gone through waters so deep that she had lost the foibles of sex.
