That startled her a little out of her wariness, crying the last two words after him with an eagerness of inflection that was as pathetic as though her heart were concerned. His lips gave out a flash as he nodded. "A Queen. Canute is going to give the Angles a 'gift of the elves." For an instant, she was betrayed into believing him, and bent forward, her flushing face transfigured with delight.
This is the bold course and the true course: it will beget a confidence which can never be felt in the wariness, however well-intentioned, of the old defenders. Let me, therefore, beg the reader to follow me patiently while I do my best to put before him the main difficulties felt by unbelievers.
"Pleased to meet you," announced the stout woman. Sally scrutinised her. She had been pretty, but had grown fat. She had puffs round her eyes, and swollen lips, and a cat-like expression of geniality.
