Effie did not resent it. He would show them ! That evening he met her by appointment. It appeared she was able to get out in the evenings. They took a tram to Rose Bay and went for a stroll. Within a quarter of an hour he was kissing Effie, and Effie showed merely a naive surprise. Her sole fear, frequently expressed, was that some one might see. King reassured her ; she was easily reassured. When he put her on board the North Shore boat that evening King turned to walk home with a strange resu...rgence of belief within him. This girl at least believed in him, took him for a man. She liked him; judging from the grace of her surrender to his kisses, she liked him very much. The serene, unworldly face was a strange contradiction to her passionate nature. She was a girl who never stepped from the realm of emotion. Life without passion was a grey, hateful thing to her. She dreamed intoxi- cating dreams and was loth to wake. Perhaps she was not a "lady"; occasionally he had caught a slovenliness of speech, a trivial hesitancy of grammar, that betrayed the superficiality of her education ; but her mind was quick and stimulating, her outlook joyously natural.
