"Ah," she said, softly, "did he-did he say that?"
"Yes-and it goes to show, what you doubtless know better than I, how deep and true and tender he is beneath it all. Shan't I lay this coat more about you? I think the air has grown chillier."
"No, thank you," she said, rising.
"Yes, it is chillier."
The man rose also. She stood a moment-her hand on the little gate, her eyes grown dark and deep.
He waited at her side.
Her fingers sought the latch absently.
"Let me open it for you," he said.
"Were you going into town, or did you come for the walk?"
"I?" she said. "Oh, I told Jules not to come back for me-it's a short walk home." She smiled up at him for the first time with her old-time brightness.
"And you," she said, "you haven't completed the round of your 'old friends' yet-you will come with me."
