Chapter XI
"I LOVE YOU! I CAN NOT KEEP THE SECRET ANY LONGER!" For a moment Bernardine rested in his arms while Jay Gardiner cried over and over again, reckless as to how it would end: "Yes, I love you, Bernardine, with all my heart, with all my soul!" But it was for a moment only; then the girl struggled out of the strong arms that infolded her, with the expression of a startled fawn in her dark, humid eyes.
