"I acted like an ass," said Mr. Woods, tragically. "Oh, yes, I did, you know. But if you'll forgive me for having been an ass I'll forgive you for throwing me over for Teddy Anstruther, and at the wedding I'll dance through any number of pairs of patent leathers you choose to mention." So that was the way he looked at it. Teddy Anstruther, indeed! Why, Teddy was a dark little man with brown eyes  just the sort of man she most objected to. I ACTED LIKE AN ASS SAID MISTER WOODS TRAGICALLY OH YES I DID YOU KNOW BUT IF YOU'LL FORGIVE ME FOR HAVING BEEN AN ASS I'LL FORGIVE YOU FOR THROWING ME OVER FOR TEDDY AND STRUTHER AND AT THE WEDDING I'LL DANCE THROUGH ANY NUMBER OF PAIRS OF PATENT LEATHERS YOU CHOOSE TO MENTION SO THAT WAS THE LOOK AT IT TEDDY AND STRUTTER INDEED WHY TEDDY WAS A DARK LITTLE MAN WITH BROWN EYES JUST THE SORT OF MAN SHE MOST OBJECTED TO
 a few of the superior angels might have such lashes. He resolved for the future to attend church more regularly. Aloud, Mr. Woods observed that in that case they had better shake hands. It would have been ridiculous to contest the point. The dignified course was to shake hands, since he insisted on it, and then to return at once to Selwoode. Margaret Hugonin had a pretty hand, and Mr. Woods, as an artist, could not well fail to admire it. Still, he needn't have looked at it as though he had never before seen anything quite like it; he needn't have neglected to return it; and when Miss Hugonin reclaimed it, after a decent interval, he needn't have laughed in a manner that compelled her to laugh, too. These things were unnecessary and annoying, as they caused Margaret to forget that she despised him. [Illustration: "Then, for no apparent reason, Margaret flushed, and Billy ... thought it vastly becoming"] For the time being--will you believe it?--she actually thought he was rather nice. ER NOTICING QUITE SUCH LASH AS ANYWHERE ELSE NO IT WAS HIGHLY IMPROBABLE THAT THERE WERE SUCH LASHES ANYWHERE ELSE PERHAPS A FEW OF THE SUPERIOR ANGELS MIGHT HAVE HAD SUCH LASHES HE RESOLVED FOR THE FUTURE TO ATTEND CHURCH MORE REGULARLY ALLOWED MISTER WOODS OBSERVED THAT IN THAT CASE THEY HAD BETTER SHAKE HANDS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RIDICULOUS TO CONTEST THE POINT THE DIGNIFIED COURSE WAS TO SHAKE HANDS SINCE HE INSISTED ON IT AND THEN TO RETURN AT ONCE TO SELLWOOD MARGARET HUGON HAD A PRETTY HAND AND MISTER WOODS AS AN ARTIST COULD NOT WELL FAIL TO ADMIRE IT STILL HE NEEDN'T HAVE LOOKED AT IT AS THOUGH HE HAD NEVER BEFORE SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT HE NEEDN'T HAVE NEGLECTED TO RETURN IT AND WHEN MISS YGUNNAN RECLAIMED IT AFTER A DECENT INTERVAL HE NEEDN'T HAVE LAUGHED IN A MANNER THAT COMPELLED HER TO LAUGH TOO THESE THINGS WERE UNNECESSARY AND ANNOYING AS THEY CAUSED MARGARET TO FORGET THAT SHE DESPISED HIM FOR THE TIME BEING WILL YOU BELIEVE IT SHE ACTUALLY THOUGHT HE WAS RATHER NICE
