Since that first afternoon, Ollie had not tried to force his suit.
While, in a hundred little ways, he had not failed to make her feel his love, he had never openly attempted the role of lover.

He was conscious that to put the girl constantly upon the defensive would be disastrous to his hopes; and in this, he was wise.

He felt that he could not go back to the city without a definite understanding.
Sammy, too, realized this, but still she was not ready to give an answer to the question he would ask.
