Prosper, forgetting Brother Bonaccord, quickened his horse to a gallop, and was soon up with the toiling lady. She stopped when she heard him coming, stood up to wait for him, quick-breathing and a little flushed, and never took her eyes off him. It was clearly a time for discretion: so much she signalled from her brown eyes, which were watchful, but by no means timid.
Except in so far as his quick-breathing silence, his look of dry, hollow-eyed exasperation spoke more piercingly than words. "Well, Arthur," she said, at last, "I have been expecting you for some time." "I have been trying to put the mischief you have done me straight," he said, between his teeth. "I have done you no mischief that I know of.
In fright I sprang to my feet, and away went the Goat-faced small-prongs. Then the deviltry of the many-breathed Fire-stick this Camous carries came down upon me as I ran faster than I'd ever gone before. 'Click, snap! click, snap! the quick-breathing Fire-stick coughed; and though I rocked, and jumped sideways and twisted, before I could get away I had one of the breath-stings in my shoulder.
Instead, she saw sitting opposite her a ponderous, quick-breathing, drunken male, handsome in a coarse, rough-hewn way, speaking in the quick, clipped speech of passion and striking her to the ground with the energy of his stage business.

He bowed low over the hand she gave him, gracefully saluted the others, and was gone. A Fair Apostate She stood flushed and quick-breathing when the door had shut, he bending toward her with dark inquiry in his eyes.

He spoke to her of that land as she looked, wide-eyed, quick-breathing, her fingers closing still more tightly about his. This was but the beginning of the glory of the west and the north, he told her.
But here, seeing the glowing intensity of his gaze, becoming aware of the strong, compelling arm about her, feeling the quiver of the hand that held her own, lo! in that instant my lady, with her sly bewitchments, her coquettish airs and graces, was gone, and in her place was the maid quick-breathing, blushing, trembling, all in a moment. "Ah, no!" she pleaded, "Barnabas, no!"

Meanwhile Marcella waited in the background, obliged to hear what passed, and struck with amazement.
"God love thee for sweet and noble woman, my Damaris," said I, sinking to my knees before her, "and now, thus kneeling in the sight of God and thee, hear me swear that hateful thing of which you speak never was and never shall be!"
