She turned the knob to his office door so slowly that she saved the slightest squeak, and stood there with her silhouette against the ground glass for a long moment.

He kissed her burningly, with such a passion of devotion as had never before moved him. She laughed rapturously. "Isn't it great, Billikins?" she said. "And I'd have missed it all if it hadn't been for you.
Paul's heart fastened to the uncouth man, and he did him burningly eager service. Paul was in clover, and had sense enough to know it.
