CHAPTER XXXVII.
TREVOR PROPOSES TO FLORENCE.
Trevor's vigorous knock came upon Florence's door. She did not know why her heart leapt, nor why the colour came into her cheeks. She had been feeling indifferent to all the world a moment before. Now she was suddenly eager and full of interest.
She crossed the room and opened the door wide. When she saw Trevor she uttered an exclamation and her eyes shone.
"Is it possible that you have come?" she said. "How are you? Won't you come in?"
He took her hand.
"Yes, I have come," he answered. "Can you give me a little time, or are you too busy?"
"I am never busy," said Florence.
