Chapter XXI
SHE PROPOSES She was still in her riding habit when I found her alone in the parlour of the Titus suite. I give you my word my heart almost stopped beating. I've never seen any one so lovely as she was at that moment. _Never_, I repeat. Her hair, blown by the kind November winds, strayed--but no!
