"This little head was never made to

The music swept the rest away, but
not the look of binding reproach he
gave her that made her heart throb
wildly as she glided on.

Valiant put his arm about Shirley and
they floated away. Once before, in the
moonlighted garden at Rosewood, she
had lain in his arm for one brief in

motion, she was another creature. I'm
