"I think I've convinced him," said Mary, "that it wouldn't." Gwenda was stiller and more withdrawn than ever, guarding her idea. "Can I see Steven before I go?" she said presently. "Of course.

Now the spring has begun perhaps perhaps " The soft drone of her voice was making him stiller and stiller and she saw it and went on.
