She started, and stared at him blankly indignant now.
"Och, be frank with me," he urged her, unpardonably. "'Twill be a kindness, so it will."
For a moment she stood before him with quickened breathing, the colour ebbing and flowing in her cheeks. Then she looked past him, and tilted her chin forward.
"You... you are quite insufferable," she said.
