Read the
passage.
She was alone and
still, gazing out to sea; and when she felt his presence and the worship of his eyes her eyes turned
to him in quiet sufferance of his gaze, without shame or wantonness. Long, long she suffered his gaze
and then quietly withdrew her eyes from his and bent them towards the stream, gently stirring the
water with her foot hither and thither. The first faint noise of gently moving water broke the
silence, low and faint and whispering, faint as the bells of sleep; hither and thither, hither and
thither: and a faint flame trembled on her cheek.
