'Well, he hasn't asked me yet to commit this one. 'You're leading him on to it. Biddy, it is abominable of you to encourage him as you do coming here with him that day.... And you let him take you riding.... 'Yes, he knows now that I CAN ride. 'And he's at Government House nearly every day I can't think what Lady Tallant is about to ask him so often to dinner.
"Good night, Senator," said Tallant, and all echoed the word, which struck me as peculiarly appropriate. Much as I had admired Mr. Watling before, it seemed indeed as if he had undergone some subtle change in the last few hours, gained in dignity and greatness by the action of the people that day.
