Sometimes I thought I had dreamed you -- only , '' he added under his breath and unheard by her , `` I could never have dreamed anything half so lovely . '' She sat down beside him on the old bench and looked unshrinkingly in his face . There was no boldness in her glance -- nothing but the most perfect , childlike trust and confidence . If there had been any evil in his heart -- any skulking thought , he was afraid to acknowledge -- those eyes must have searched it out and shamed it . But he could meet them unafraid .

And you are different from them -- oh , very , very different . I was afraid to come back here the next evening . And yet , somehow , I wanted to come . I did not want you to think I did not know how to behave . I sent Neil back for my bow in the morning . I could not do without it . I can not speak , you know . Are you sorry ? '' `` I am very sorry for your sake . '' `` Yes , but what I mean is , would you like me better if I could speak like other people ? ''
