However, she questioned him with her head drooped forward, her brows raised; and as this gave him the full effect of her eyes, Mr. Woods became quite certain that there was, at least, one thing she might be expected to rob him of, and wisely declined to mention it. Margaret did not insist on knowing what it was. Perhaps she heard it thumping under his waistcoat, where it was behaving very queerly. So they sat in silence for a while. Then Margaret fell a-humming to herself; and the air--will you believe it?--chanced by the purest accident to be that foolish, senseless old song they used to sing together four years ago. Billy chuckled. "Let's!" he obscurely pleaded. Spring prompted her. "Oh, where have you been, Billy boy?" queried Margaret's wonderful contralto, "Oh, where have you been, Billy boy, Billy boy? Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?" She sang it in a low, hushed voice, just over her breath. Not looking at him, however.
