She raised her dark eyes to his for a moment, and their tenderness was
not of earth or of this world at all.  Then she tore the envelope and its
contents slowly into a hundred pieces, and dropped the fluttering papers
into the stream pacing in its marble bed towards the Tajo and the
oblivion of the sea.

‘There—I have destroyed the letter,’ she said, with a thoughtful little
smile.  Then, looking up, she met his eyes.

‘I did not want it.  I am glad you gave it to me.  It will make a
difference to our lives.  Though—I never wanted it.’

Then she came slowly towards him.
