Her yellow gown gleamed likelight against the dull brown of the stone and the dark moss-touchedtrunks of the trees. Whether she was looking at the tufts of fern andof grass that grew in the wet basin, or whether she was studying herown beauty reflected there, no one could tell, not even Apollo, who hadbeen watching her for some time. Into his eyes as he looked leaped a light like the flame of thesunshine beyond the shadows on the hill; swiftly he stepped forward andkissed the girl's shoulder wh...ere the thin yellow stuff of her dressshowed the outward curve to the arm. She turned and faced him, withouta word. There was no need of speech: anger battled with unconfessedjoy in her changing face. "How dare you?" she said presently, when she had won her lips to curvesof scorn. "The manners of the gods seem strange to mortals. " "I love you, " he answered simply. Then there was no sound save that of the water, dropping over the edgeof the great basin to the soft grass beneath. "Can't you forgive me?" he asked humbly.
