No, I'm not accusing you of falling in love with Vardri. I only say, be careful. Even an elf-child can develop suddenly into a woman once she arrives at a knowledge of the fact that there is a man ready to make love to her. Perhaps you do not know it yourself, but you have changed lately. You are losing your fearlessness, your indifference.

She was determined that she would not make the same mistake a third time; so very promptly now she assumed an air of elaborate indifference on this most dangerous subject, as she said: "But never mind about Jamie Kent. Tell me about yourself. I'm SO interested!" "There isn't anything to tell. I don't know anything nice," hesitated the boy. "They said father was was queer, and never talked.

And Denry said: "Well, of course, shouldn't think of stopping in Montreux. Going to try Pridoux."
