He smiled in response and put his hand upon her firm, round arm, possessively, and they began to talk. Ram Singh, all unaware, kept his horses at their steady clanking downward gallop, and Simla, clinging to the hilltops, was brushed by the first rays of the sun.
She sat down by the dressing-table, and laid her hands idly in her lap, and thought all the rosy things that women in love do think. She lunched the next day with Desmond as a matter of course. He called for her at her office, and drove her away possessively. There was no more solitude for her, no more proud loneliness, no more boastful independence. Already she clung and already she enjoyed it.
His arm tightened round her possessively. "I don't know," he said slowly. "I might if I couldn't manage you any other way." "Roger!" There was almost a note of fear in her quick, astonished exclamation.
Never in her whole little life having owned a door-key to her own house it seemed quite an adventure in itself to be walking thus possessively through an unfamiliar hall into an absolutely unknown kitchen and goodness knew what on either side and beyond.
"Come, you mustn't faint. That wouldn't be at all good for you. Open your eyes! Don't be afraid! Open them!" They opened quiveringly, almost against her will.

Perhaps Osborn saw the abstraction of her mind and was jealous of it; at the moment she must think of nothing save him, as he could think of nothing but her. He put his hand under her chin, to lift her dreamy face, and he kissed her lips possessively. "Here," he demanded, against them, "what are you thinking about?
Not for nothing was John of Jingalo the son of his father, not for nothing a descendant of kings who so far as they consciously achieved power had always held it possessively and exclusively, withholding the key from their heirs. Post obits were not popular in that royal House of Ganz-Wurst which for two hundred years had ruled over Jingalo.
Was this, then, the engagement which prevented her acceptance of the doctor's offer? Was this the way in which the hero of her girlish dreams should be restored to her, with that bewilderingly handsome and fascinating New York girl at his side, almost possessively supporting and exhibiting him?
