Bundle’s eyes came back to Bill. Quite oblivious of her question he was watching her with adoring eyes.

“Bill, darling,” said Bundle, “pull yourself together. We’ve got to get out of here.”

“Eh?” said Bill. “What? Oh, yes. That’ll be all right. No difficulty about that.”

“It’s being in love makes you feel like that,” said Bundle. “I feel rather the same myself. As though everything’s easy and possible.”

“So it is,” said Bill. “Now that I know you care for me⁠—”

“Stop it,” said Bundle. “Once we begin again any serious conversation will be hopeless. Unless you pull yourself together and become sensible, I shall very likely change my mind.”

“I shan’t let you,” said Bill. “You don’t think that once having got you I’d be such a fool as to let you go, do you?”
