"I think? Oh no, Baroness! I only obey my orders."
"And they never make you think?" Her glance was quick at him for an instant.
"There's danger in thinking too much, even for ladies," he told her.
She looked at him more gravely, for his eyes were on her now with a kindly, perhaps a remorseful, look.
"You mean that for me?" she asked. "But if I, too, only obey my orders?"
"With all my heart I hope they may lead you into no danger," he said.
"There's only one danger in all the world—losing what you love."
"Not, sometimes, gaining it?" he asked quickly.
"Still, the only danger would be of losing it again."
"There's life, too," he remarked with a shrug.
