It's you I'm thinking about," he said.
"But there's no need to worry about me.

I'm not afraid of Egbert any longer," she said, and her eyes, full of confidence and courage, met his steadily.

"Lord, how I want to kiss you again!" he cried.
"You'll have to wait till tomorrow," she said.
It was as well that he did not kiss her again, for fifty yards behind them, stealing through the wood, came William Roper, all eyes.

And he had already quite enough to tell.
Grey walked with her through the rest of the wood and nearly to the end of the path through the shrubbery.
