A Romance of Exmoor by R. D. Blackmore]@TWC D-Link book A Romance of Exmoor 5/6 Then she opened wide upon me all the glorious depth and softness of her loving eyes, and flung both arms around my neck, and answered with her heart on mine,-- 'Darling, you have won it all. I shall never be my own again. I am yours, my own one, for ever and for ever.' I am sure I know not what I did, or what I said thereafter, being overcome with transport by her words and at her gaze. Only one thing I remember, when she raised her bright lips to me, like a child, for me to kiss, such a smile of sweet temptation met me through her flowing hair, that I almost forgot my manners, giving her no time to breathe. And now remember one thing, dear. |
