Rowland's eyes were sparkling with excitement.
"I think so; more especially if you will give me leave to say that you would welcome him."

I was standing in the hall when she arrived, and I felt a momentary sense of pleasure when I saw her start as her eyes met mine. But she was not a woman to be caught off her guard. She approached me at once
