"You--expected--all--the--time--to--be--married--in--July?"
"Why, yes," said the girl, with the faintest dimpling flicker of a smile. "Won't you congratulate me?" Very softly she drew her right hand away from me and held it out whitely to Sagner.
"Excuse me," said Sagner, "but I have just--washed--my--hands."

"Excuse--me," said Sagner, "but I have just--washed my hands."
Then, bowing very, very low, like a small boy at his first dancing-school, Sagner pa.s.sed from the house.
When I finally succeeded in steering my shaking knees and flopping feet down the long front steps and the pleasant, rose-bordered path, I found Sagner waiting for me at the gateway.

In another instant he was gone. With a wh-i-r and a wh-i-s-h and a snow-white fragrance, his trail cut abruptly through the apple-bush hedge. Then like a huge, black, sweet-scented sponge the darkening night seemed to swoop down and wipe him right off the face of the earth.
Very softly I knelt and pressed my ear to the ground. Across the young, tremulous, vibrant greensward I heard the throb-throb-throb of a man's feet--_running_.
