Yes, and a little
breathless?
Lascelles Abercrombie - Emblems of Love
_Jean_.
O, you are come again!
_Morris_.
Has he been here,
That blackguard, with some insolence to you?
_Jean_.
Who?
_Morris_.
Why, that Hamish.
_Jean_.
Hamish? No, not he.
_Morris_.
I thought--you seemed so breathless--
_Jean_.
But you've come
Again! May I not be glad of your coming?
Yes, and a little breathless? --Did you come
Only because you thought I might be bullied?
_Morris_.
O, no, no, no, Only for you I came.
_Jean_.
And that's what I was hoping.
_Morris_.
If you could know
How it has been with me, since I saw you!
_Jean_.
What can I know of your mind? --For my own
Is hard enough to know,--save that I'm glad
You've come again,--and that I should have cried
If you'd not kept your word.
_Morris_.
My word? --to see
Hamish does nothing to you?
_Jean_.
The fiend take Hamish!
