"I was sure you would help me. But do
you think," he added, hesitating, "that it will be in any way awkward
for you?"
She smiled on him and she could not keep out of her eyes the joy she
felt at being able to serve him.
"Do you think," was her reply, "that I am likely to let that
consideration stand in my way? It is rather late in life for me to
begin to let conventionality interfere with what I think it right to
do. Besides," she continued, dropping her eyes, though without a shade
of self-consciousness, "I shall go when you are at the studio."
"And it will not be too much trouble?"
"I shall love to do what I can for Nino."
"I thank you," he said again.
Then without more words he held out his hand.
"Good-night," he said.
"Good-night," she repeated.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
