Again and again I thought I saw a gleam of interest in her eyes or the beginnings of a smile about that sweet mouth of hers. I was careful not to overdo my part. As soon as we finished dessert I said: "You loathe cigar smoke, so I'll hide myself in my den.
Sanders will bring you the cigarettes." I had myself telephoned for a supply of her kind early in the day.
She made a polite protest for the benefit of the servants; but I was firm, and she was free to think things over alone in the drawing room-"your sitting room," I called it now.
I had not finished a small cigar when there came a timid knock at my door. I threw away the cigar and opened. "I thought it was you," said I.
"I'm familiar with the knocks of all the others. And this was new-like a summer wind tapping with a flower for admission at a closed window." And I laughed with a little raillery, and she smiled, colored, tried to seem cold and hostile again.
