"I'll bring it to you here in the passage," she said. "There's nobody but me about the house to-day." ¡¡¡¡ She brought him a bottle and a glass, and he drank. ¡¡¡¡ Arabella began shaking with suppressed laughter. "What is this, my dear?" he asked, smacking his lips. ¡¡¡¡ "Oh--a drop of wine--and something in it." Laughing again she said: "I poured your own love-philtre into it, that you sold me at the agricultural show, don't you re-member?" ¡¡¡¡ "I do, I do! Clever woman! But you must be prepared for the consequences." Putting his arm round her shoulders he kissed her there and then. ¡¡¡¡ "Don't don't," she whispered, laughing good-humouredly. "My man will hear." ¡¡¡¡ She let him out of the house, and as she went back she said to herself: "Well! Weak women must provide for a rainy day. And if my poor fellow upstairs do go off--as I suppose he will soon-- it's well to keep chances open. And I can't pick and choose now as I could when I was younger. And one must take the old if one can't get the young."
