It was hardly more than a whisper, but its sweetness thrilled his blood, and half in joy and fear he turned to her again. But she was only smiling inscrutably as before, and she spoke no more for that night. IT WAS HARDLY MORE THAN A WHISPER BUT ITS SWEETNESS THRILLED HIS BLOOD AND HALF IN JOY AND FEAR HE TURNED TO HER AGAIN BUT SHE WAS ONLY SMILING INSCRUTABLY AS BEFORE AND SHE SPOKE NO MORE FOR THAT NIGHT
he would say in a tender whisper, not loud enough for her to hear:— "It is cold to-night, Silencieux. See, my cloak will keep you warm." Once as he did this she heaved a gentle sigh, as though thanking him. At other times he would place her against the gable of the châlet, so that the moonlight fell upon her, and then he would plunge into the wood and walk its whole length, so that, as he wound his way back through the intervening brakes, her face would come and go, glimmering away off through the leafage, beckoning to him to return. And once he thought he heard her call his name very softly through the wood. That may have been an illusion, but it was during these days that he did actually hear her speak for the first time. He had been writing till past midnight, with her smile just above him, and when he had turned out the lamp and was moving to the door through the vague flickering light of the fire, he distinctly heard a voice very luxurious and tender say "Antony," just behind him. EST HE SHOULD AWAKEN HER SOMETIMES HE WOULD SAY IN A TENDER WHISPER NOT LOUD ENOUGH FOR HER TO HEAR IT IS COLD TO NIGHT SELAJIO SEE MY CLOAK WILL KEEP YOU WARM ONCE AS HE DID THIS SHE HEAVED A GENTLE SIGH AS THOUGH THANKING HIM AT OTHER TIMES HE WOULD PLACE HER AGAINST THE GABLE OF THE CHALET SO THAT THE MOONLIGHT FELL UPON HER AND THEN HE WOULD PLUNGE INTO THE WOOD AND WALK ITS WHOLE LENGTH SO THAT AS HE WOUND HIS WAY BACK THROUGH THE INTERVENING BRAKES HER FACE WOULD COME AND GO GLIMMERING AWAY OFF THROUGH THE LEAFAGE BECKONING HIM TO RETURN AND ONCE HE THOUGHT HE HEARD HER CALL HIS NAME VERY SOFTLY THROUGH THE WOOD THAT MAY HAVE BEEN AN ILLUSION BUT IT WAS DURING THESE DAYS THAT HE DID ACTUALLY HEAR HER SPEAK FOR THE FIRST TIME HE HAD BEEN WRITING TILL PAST MIDNIGHT WITH HER SMILE JUST ABOVE HIM AND WHEN HE HAD TURNED OUT THE LAMP AND WAS MOVING TO THE DOOR THROUGH THE VAGUE FLICKERING LIGHT OF THE FIRE HE DISTINCTLY HEARD A VOICE VERY LUXURIOUS AND TENDER SAY ANTONI JUST BEHIND HIM
