Chapter VII
A little sound escaped her, like a smothered cry of pain. He turned towards her. "Something in your face,"--he said--"a touch of longing in your sweet eyes, has made me risk telling you all, so that you may at least choose your own way of love and life--for there is no real life without love." Suddenly she rose and confronted him--and once again, as in a magic mirror, I saw MY OWN REFLECTED PERSONALITY. There were tears in her eyes,--yet a smile quivered on her mouth.
