Chapter VIII
Natalie drew the long breath that invokes Patience and looked elsewhere. "You've changed toward me," the man whined. Indignation suddenly reddened her cheeks, and she levelled her blue eyes upon him in a glance that should have struck to his soul. But it failed to penetrate very far. "I know I've treated you badly," he went on.
