Excerpt from Bob Martin's Little Girl A pair of lovers were strolling along an English country lane. The sun had fallen half an hour before, but its beams were still reflected in the zenith, so that through the over-arching boughs of the lofty hedgerows, and the trees studded about them, there fell a radiance which, though soft and ghost-like, still gave light enough for the man and maid to read each other's faces. The male, as was natural, took ardent advantage of his opportunity, and walking with drooping head and side-long face, kept his eyes fixed upon the girl's half-averted features. She, for her part, stole only an occasional glance at him, each time swiftly withdrawn. She was not pre-eminently pretty, except to a lover's eyes, but her face was full of a vivacious tenderness, and at every fugitive glance she gave him her companions heart yearned over her. "You are quite sure you love me?" said the young man, putting the question for the twentieth time that evening. The girl's shy glance met his for a moment and drooped again. She gave him no further response, but for awhile, at least, he seemed satisfied, and they walked on slowly in the gathering dusk, until at a corner of the lane he put his arm about her waist, and drawing her gently to him, arrested her footsteps.
