“But – she might have got hold of – Terry and now that she is – dead and we can be happy.”
“Very happy,” the Earl agreed. “But I am still going to marry you, if not tonight, perhaps tomorrow or the next day.”
Kyla gave a little cry.
“Are you sure – completely sure – you wish to – marry me? You don’t – know me.”
“I know all I want to know and I know what you make me feel,” the Earl replied. “And I think, unless I am mistaken, that you love me a little.”
“I – did not – realise it was – love until just now” Kyla said, “but I do love you – I love you with all my heart and soul – it is the most delightful exquisite feeling that I have – ever known.”
The Earl laughed.
“That is exactly what I wanted you to tell me and now, as this is rather uncomfortable for you, I am taking you home.”
