He pressed her hand to him with no visible movement. "And now?" he said. "Ah, no, not now," she murmured, half-laughing. "You have quite put an end to that." They were interrupted. Colonel Bradlaw had just heard of their engagement from Daisy, and came up to make Max's acquaintance and to offer his pompous felicitations.

But he had made her sit down in the recess of that bow-window which had been called the young girls' corner years ago. He stood before her, preventing her escape, and half-laughing, though he was deeply moved. "Since you have guessed what I wanted to say, answer me quickly." "Must I? Must I, really? Why didn't you ask my father to do your commission?
Harriet fled to her room, and to the porch beyond it, and flinging herself into a basket chair, covered her face with her two hands, and for half an hour rocked to and fro audibly gasping, half-laughing, half-crying, almost beside herself with amazement and excitement.

Tressady nodded. In the struggle of devotion with a half-laughing annoyance he could only crave that the thing should be over.
