He could not keep from continually touching her comb, her rings, her fichu; sometimes he gave her great sounding kisses with all his mouth on her cheeks, or else little kisses in a row all along her bare arm from the tip of her fingers up to her shoulder, and she put him away half-smiling, half-vexed, as you do a child who hangs about you.

She did not wish to say yes; she could not say no; she kept her half-smiling silence. "How long has this been going on?" The tones were sharp with impotence. "Oh well since you went to Italy. At least," she murmured vaguely, "that was when he came to tea."
