Excerpt from The Pursuit of Camilla
The man and the girl remained another moment or two face to face without speaking. Their silence, however, was not passive, but held as much challenge and parry as any clash of hard words. The man seeming, at last, by a shrug of the shoulders and an impatient movement of the hands, to acknowledge him self defeated, the young lady turned serenely from him, and slowly continued her ascent. The drama was over, and the spectator, with drawing a little regretfully, could but watch the departure from the stage of the principal per former. She crossed the square at a good pace, and took the upward path to the hills behind the town, where indeed the diminishing dome of her shot-silk parasol was presently discernible against the grey of the hill-side.
