Chapter XI
"You're the most delightful woman, Julia," he said as he sat down beside her, "and I can't imagine what you mean by my hating you." "If you haven't discovered that I like you, you might as well." "Might as well discover it?" She was grave--he had never seen her so pale and never so beautiful. She had stopped rolling her parasol; her hands were folded in her lap and her eyes bent on them.
