"I suppose it's because the house is so old, and there are so few people in it. But tell me about yourself. You're very young, and yes, you're exceedingly good-looking. Do you mind my telling you so?" "Not at all," said Celia, with a smile.

Norman narrowed his handsome, impudent eyes and regarded me intently. "And you're sufficiently clear-cut and good-looking," he said thoughtfully, "for the purpose.
