Excerpt from The Eustace Diamonds, Vol. 2

If anything would make a girl talk to a man, such a ducking as Lucinda had had would do so. Such sud den events, when they come in the shape of misfortune, or the reverse, generally have the effect of abolishing shyness for the time. Let a girl be upset with you in a railway train, and she will talk like a Rosalind, though before the accident she was as mute as death. But with Lucinda Roanoke the accustomed change did not seem to take place. When Sir Griffin had placed her on her saddle, she would have trotted all the way into Kilmarnock Without a word if he would have allowed her. But he, at least, understood that such a joint mis fortune should create confidence, for he, too, had lost the run, and he did not intend to lose his opportunity also I am so glad that I was near you, he said.
