Chapter VI
"My curse," said Canning, turning his dark eyes down upon her, "is that I can't learn when to stop. Once I begin, I am never satisfied till I've gambolled all over the place." Carlisle's eyes fell before his gaze. "This," said she, drawing on a glove, "is a small place." "You appear to invite me to gambol?"
