This was probably owing to the fact that Margaret, leaning against the back of the stone bench on which they both sat, her chin propped by her hand, was gazing at him in that peculiar, intent fashion of hers which  as I think I have mentioned  caused you fatuously to believe she had forgotten there were any other trousered beings extant. Mr. Kennaston, however, stuck to apt phrases and nice distinctions. The moon found it edifying, but rather dull.

IX It was an hour or two later when the moon, drifting tardily up from the south, found Miss Hugonin and Mr. Kennaston chatting amicably together in the court at Selwoode.

Mr. Kennaston was in vein to-night; he scintillated; he was also a little nervous.
