Then she opened the letter and read.
Suddenly she stopped and put back her hair from her brown temples.

Then a succession of burning blushes followed each other in waves from her neck up, and died in drops of moisture in her eyes.

This continued until she was fairly crying, dropping the letter from her hands and rocking to and fro.

In the midst of this she quickly stopped again; the clouds broke, a sunshine of laughter started from her eyes, she laughed shyly, she laughed loudly, she laughed hysterically.

Then she stopped again as suddenly, knitted her brows, swooped down once more upon the letter, and turned to fly.
