'Twas all as I have said, blessed be Allah and his decrees! Bhanavar gazed on her beloved, and the bridal dew overflowed her underlids, and she loosed her hair to let it flow, part over her shoulders, part over his, and in sighs that were the measure of music she sang: I thought not to love again! But now I love as I loved not before; I love not; I adore!
Spragg came in silently, setting his high hat down on the centre-table, and laying his overcoat across one of the gilt chairs. He was tallish, grey-bearded and somewhat stooping, with the slack figure of the sedentary man who would be stout if he were not dyspeptic; and his cautious grey eyes with pouch-like underlids had straight black brows like his daughter's.
The underlids of these were pencilled with countless small lines, which, with the weary, dull eyes, seemed quite out of keeping with the otherwise keenly intellectual face. Mavis secretly resented the man's indifference to her comeliness. A few minutes later, the servant opened the door to announce Mr Williams, whereupon a tall, sun-bronzed, smart-looking man sauntered into the room.

Her sin was there: but in dreaming to save, he was soft to her sin drowned it in deep mournfulness. Silence, and the rustle of her dress, awoke him from his musing. She swam wave-like to the sofa. She was at his feet. "I have been light and careless to-night, Richard. Of course I meant it. I must be happy with my best friend going to leave me." Those witch underlids were working brightly.
