She was holding a single rose in her fingers, and looking from it to him, as if to see if it would match his olive skin and his Karkee shooting-coat. He could not resist the bribe. "If you really want to know I will tell you, but it is a profound secret," he said, smiling. "Griggs, swear!" I raised my hand and murmured something about the graves of my ancestors.
Not the desire of her as in the days when he used to smile . . . How could she know? . . . A sigh coming from the bottom of her heart, flew out into the world through her parted lips.
