She was got up smart, as she phrased it, and she reminded him of some brilliant flower that has no leaves of its own, but blooms abruptly out of a world of green. "Who found you out?" "Charlotte," she murmured. "She was stopping with us. Charlotte-- Charlotte." "Poor girl!" She smiled gravely. A certain scheme, from which hitherto he had shrank, now appeared practical.
"Lucy!" "Yes, I suppose we ought to be going," was her reply. "Lucy, I want to ask something of you that I have never asked before." At the serious note in his voice she stepped frankly and kindly towards him. "What, Cecil?" "Hitherto never--not even that day on the lawn when you agreed to marry me--" He became self-conscious and kept glancing round to see if they were observed. His courage had gone. "Yes?" "Up to now I have never kissed you."
