If Glaucon had NOT been a good shepherd dear knows what would have happened to him and Aglaia . But he was ; and when he begged Pan to go away and not frighten Aglaia any more , Pan had to go , grumbling a good deal -- and Pan 's grumblings had a very ugly sound . But still he WENT , and that was the main thing . '' ` Now , dearest , what is all this trouble about ? ' asked Glaucon ; and Aglaia told him the story . '' ` But where is the beautiful stone ? ' he asked , when she had finished . ` Didst thou drop it in thy alarm ? ' `` No , indeed ! Aglaia had done nothing of the sort . When she began to run , she had popped it into her mouth , and there it was still , quite safe . Now she poked it out between her red lips , where it glittered in the sunlight . '' ` Take it , ' she whispered . `` The question was -- how was he to take it ? Both of Aglaia 's arms were held fast to her sides by Glaucon 's arms ; and if he loosened his clasp ever so little he was afraid she would fall , so weak and trembling was she from her dreadful fright . Then Glaucon had a brilliant idea . He would take the beautiful stone from Aglaia 's lips with his own lips . `` He bent over until his lips touched hers -- and THEN , he forgot all about the beautiful pebble and so did Aglaia . Kissing was discovered ! `` What a yarn ! ''
said Dan , drawing a long breath , when we had come to ourselves and discovered that we were really sitting XXXXX a dewy Prince Edward Island orchard instead of watching two lovers on a mountain in Thessaly in the Golden Age .
