Then she said, "What a pretty pin you have." "Isn't it? Ray gave it to me," said Dorothy, giving Leonore all the line she wanted. "I've never met Miss Biddle," said Leonore.

But evidently she was absorbed in her own thoughts, her own young-girl dreams, and found a dearer pleasure in silence. But she was not dreaming sleepy dreams no, she was awake, alive, alert, she could not sit still a moment. She was an enchanting study.
He imagined her nestling in that warm little bed out of his mother's room, and the satisfaction that he might have felt had she been his child instead of his sweetheart, filled him with pure delight. He tried to imagine her terrors, her young-girl terrors, alone in that house, her panic running alone through the night streets, and he even magnified it through inability to understand it.
