Excerpt: ...four-footed philosopher he was, had come to a halt and was serenely cropping the grass by the roadside. And so we presently drove on again, but though Diana frowned no more, she persistently avoided my glance. "Diana," said I at last, vainly endeavouring to meet her gaze, "who is the-one man?" "Him as I shall marry, of course-if I ever do!" she answered. "Then that man is myself, of course!" "You are a sight too cocksure!" "Am I?" "Yes, and-very rough, I think."

Excerpt: ...four-footed philosopher he was, had come to a halt and was serenely cropping the grass by the roadside. And so we presently drove on again, but though Diana frowned no more, she persistently avoided my glance. "Diana," said I at last, vainly endeavouring to meet her gaze, "who is the-one man?" "Him as I shall marry, of course-if I ever do!" she answered. "Then that man is myself, of course!" "You are a sight too cocksure!" "Am I?" "Yes, and-very rough, I think." "Oh, forgive me-did I hurt you-just now, when I-" "You did!" "Where?" "Here, on the throat, Peregrine." "Let me look," said I, peering. Then, "The wound is not apparent, Diana, unless it is-here!" and leaning closer, I touched her soft neck with my lips. "Did I hurt you anywhere else?" "No!" said she hastily and with sudden shy look. "I could almost regret my gentleness!" I sighed. After this we drove in silence awhile; that is to say Diogenes ambled along at his own leisurely gait, as if he very well knew that 'time was made for slaves'. So I looked at Diana, drinking in this new, shy beauty of her, and she looked at earth and sky, at hedgerow and rolling meadow but with never a glance at me. "It was wrong of you to think the gentleman kissed me!" said she suddenly, beginning to frown. "It was!" I admitted. "Very wrong indeed!" "Then why did you?" "Because I was a fool!" "Well, I don't like fools!" "Then I will endeavour to be wiser." "'T will need a lot o' trying, I think," said she, scowling. "Good heavens!" said I. "Are you angry now?" "Yes, I can be angry as well as you, I s'pose?" "Of course!" said I. "You have contrived to be very ill-tempered lately." "Oh, have I?" "You have! And very slipshod in your speech-indeed, your diction is worse than ever-" "Oh, stow your gab!" "Now you are coarse and vulgar in the extreme!" "Well, that's better than pretending to be what I ain't. And if you don't like my talk-hold your tongue and I'll hold mine!" "I will!" said I. "Do!..".
