 But it is not the way for a man and a woman, in propinquity, to maintain a definite, unwavering distance asunder1. Imperceptibly Paula and Graham drew closer. From lingering eye-gazings and hand-touchings the way led to permitted caresses2, until there was a second clasping in the arms and a second kiss long on the lips. Nor this time did Paula flame in anger. Instead, she commanded:
 
“You must not go.”
 
“I must not stay,” Graham reiterated3 for the thousandth time. “Oh, I have kissed behind doors, and been guilty of all the rest of the silly rubbish,” he complained. “But this is you, and this is Dick.”
 
“It will work out, I tell you, Evan.”
 
“Come with me then and of ourselves work it out. Come now.”
 
She recoiled4.
 
“Remember,” Graham encouraged, “what Dick said at dinner the night Leo fought the dragons—­that if it were you, Paula, his wife, who ran away, he would say ‘Bless you, my children.’”
 
“And that is just why it is so hard, Evan. He is Great Heart. You named him well. Listen—­you watch him now. He is as gentle as he said he would be that night—­gentle toward me, I mean. And more. You watch him—­”
 
“He knows?—­he has spoken?” Graham broke in.
 
“He has not spoken, but I am sure he knows, or guesses. You watch him. He won’t compete against you—­”
 
“Compete!”
 
“Just that. He won’t compete. Remember at the rodeo yesterday. He was breaking mustangs when our party arrived, but he never mounted again. Now he is a wonderful horse-breaker. You tried your hand. Frankly7, while you did fairly well, you couldn’t touch him. But he wouldn’t show off against you. That alone would make me certain that he guesses.
 
“Listen. Of late haven’t you noticed that he never questions a statement you make, as he used to question, as he questions every one else. He continues to play
