Chapter XII
I took his hand, and we walked along bravely. I was warmed with the skating; my cheeks were cold; my heart was beating heartily; I felt a curious exhilaration which snowy air and even most badly executed skating gives to every one. When we entered the woods Von Marlo slackened his steps and looked full at me. "You are as happy as the day is long," he said. I made no reply.
