"Finish the wine." He held the glass to her lips until she had drained it; and then she began to laugh a little unsteadily. "You are right," she said, "a boy doesn't weep.
Kaya shrank back into the leaves that were painted, and they trembled slightly as if a breeze had passed; and the great drop-curtain blew out, bulging.
