She had come like the wind, swift and elusive, darting through the forest under the snowy branches, as if so felt the man with his leashed desire of her the mere physical joy of motion and air and sun and still woods were enough, and love had been lost in the glory of the day! ... "Here," she murmured with trembling lips, "at last!" "At last!" he echoed, her eyes close to his.
