He went towards her, smiling, elate, with eager arms, calling her name; she put him back with extended hands. 'No, no, Harry; not that, she said, and he noticed in her voice the strength of some resolution, the firmness that had jarred upon him when last they met. 'Not that! he repeated. Chris, you love me.

Lane, mounted on a very rickety old "sociable," presented itself to the gaping gaze of several laborers in the park. Claudia was in her most boisterous spirits; Eugene, by one of the quick transitions of his nature, was hardly less elate.

There seemed good cause for this.
Just now, in the midst of this commonplace, exceedingly middle-class evening party, with the Larkins, the Downings, and the Burtons chattering, warm, diffuse, and elate, about him, she stirred him with a little horror not horror of herself, but of something in her mood.
