She thought she did, but she didn't....

So I left her behind when I came--left everything about her behind me.

I am all new, Louis....

Are you afraid to love me ?" He drew her closer; she turned, partly, and put both arms around his neck, and their lips touched and clung.
Then, a little pale, she drew away from him, a vague smile tremulous on her lips.

The confused sweetness of her eyes held him breathless with their enchantment; the faint fragrance of her dazed him.
In silence she bent her head, remained curbed, motionless for a few moments, then slowly lifted her eyes to his.
"How much do you want me, Louis ?" "You know." "Enough to--give me up ?" His lips stiffened and refused at first, then: "Yes," they motioned.
