lips　waited　on　her　face；　waited　like　a　butterfly　that

does　not　move　on　a　flower。　She　pressed　her　breast　a　little

nearer　to　him；　he　moved；　put　both　his　arms　round　her；　and　drew

her　close。

And　then；　in　the　darkness；　he　bent　to　her　mouth；　softly；　and

touched　her　mouth　with　his　mouth。　She　was　afraid；　she　lay　still

on　his　arm；　feeling　his　lips　on　her　lips。　She　kept　still；

helpless。　Then　his　mouth　drew　near；　pressing　open　her　mouth；　a

overhead；　clothed　with　leaves；　and　of　fine　ash　leaves　tressing

together。　He　held　her　hand；　and　they　went　the　long　way　round　by

the　road；　to　be　farther。　Always　she　felt　as　if　she　were
