The moon and stars whirled giddily around him as he put his arms
about her. Like a man in a dream he drew her to him.
"I love you--love you," he said huskily over the bright maze of
hair.
"You don't!" came with muffled intensity from the hidden lips. "You
said to that man--when I was in that cave--'Nothing doing!'"
"It wasn't his affair--I hadn't a hope.... Oh, my dear, my dear,
I've been breaking my heart----"
"And I've had such a perfectly h-hateful three days," sobbed the
voice.
His arms closed tighter about her, incredible of their happiness.
"Oh, Arlee, I can't tell you--I haven't words----"
"I've had _deeds_!" she whispered.
Through his rocking mind darted a memory of her earlier speech to
him. "You said you didn't want words. Arlee--_will you_?"
She flung back her head and looked up at him, her face a flower, her
eyes like stars tangled in the bright mist of her hair.
"Billy, what's your middle name?"
"Bunker.... I can't help it, dear. They wished it on me and asked me
not to let it go. But _Bunker Hill_----!"
"It's a wonderful name, Billy! A perfectly irresistible name!" Her
eyes laughed up at him through a dazzle of tears, and prankishly
over her curving lips hovered a mischievous dimple. "It's a
name--that--I--simply--can't--do--without--Billy Bunker Hill!"
The dimple deepened then fled before its just deserts. For if ever a
dimple deserved to be caught and kissed that was the one.
