All
she
could
think
of
was
that
she
loved
him
--
everything
about
him
,
from
the
proud
lift
of
his
gold
head
to
his
slender
dark
boots
,
loved
his
laughter
even
when
it
mystified
her
,
loved
his
bewildering
silences
.
Oh
,
if
only
he
would
walk
in
on
her
now
and
take
her
in
his
arms
,
so
she
would
be
spared
the
need
of
saying
anything
.
He
must
love
her
--
"
Perhaps
if
I
prayed
--
"
She
squeezed
her
eyes
tightly
and
began
gabbling
to
herself
"
Hail
Mary
,
full
of
grace
--
"
862
"
Why
,
Scarlett
!
"
said
Ashley
's
voice
,
breaking
in
through
the
roaring
in
her
ears
and
throwing
her
into
utter
confusion
.
He
stood
in
the
hall
peering
at
her
through
the
partly
opened
door
,
a
quizzical
smile
on
his
face
.
863
"
Who
are
you
hiding
from
--
Charles
or
the
Tarletons
?

She
gulped
.
So
he
had
noticed
how
the
men
had
swarmed
about
her
!
How
unutterably
dear
he
was
standing
there
with
his
eyes
twinkling
,
all
unaware
of
her
excitement
.
She
could
not
speak
,
but
she
put
out
a
hand
and
drew
him
into
the
room
.
He
entered
,
puzzled
but
interested
.
There
was
a
tenseness
about
her
,
a
glow
in
her
eyes
that
he
had
never
seen
before
,
and
even
in
the
dim
light
he
could
see
the
rosy
flush
on
her
cheeks
.
Automatically
he
closed
the
door
behind
him
and
took
her
hand
.
865
"
What
is
it
?
"
he
said
,
almost
in
a
whisper
.
866
At
the
touch
of
his
hand
,
she
began
to
tremble
.
It
was
going
to
happen
now
,
just
as
she
had
dreamed
it
.
A
thousand
incoherent
thoughts
shot
through
her
mind
,
and
she
could
not
catch
a
single
one
to
mold
into
a
word
.
She
could
only
shake
and
look
up
into
his
face
.
Why
did
n't
he
speak
?
867
"
What
is
it
?
"
he
repeated
.
"
A
secret
to
tell
me
?
"

Suddenly
she
found
her
tongue
and
just
as
suddenly
all
the
years
of
Ellen
's
teachings
fell
away
,
and
the
forthright
Irish
blood
of
Gerald
spoke
from
his
daughter
's
lips
.
869
"
Yes
--
a
secret
.
I
love
you
.
"

For
an
instance
there
was
a
silence
so
acute
it
seemed
that
neither
of
them
even
breathed
.
Then
the
trembling
fell
away
from
her
,
as
happiness
and
pride
surged
through
her
.
Why
had
n't
she
done
this
before
?
How
much
simpler
than
all
the
ladylike
maneuverings
she
had
been
taught
.
And
then
her
eyes
sought
his
.
