-
In glorious moments when he was rather sure that Galton was far from unsatisfied with his progress, and Ann had looked more than usually distracting in her aloof and sober alluringness, -- it was her entire aloofness which so stirred his blood, -- he sometimes stopped scribbling and lost his head for a minute or so, wondering if a fellow ever could "get away with it" to the extent of making enough to -- but he always pulled himself up in time.
T. Tembarom 1913
