" Ida Pendragonl " he spluttered. “ I love you, Ida Pendragon." “ And Ida Pendragon loves her leopard. Now leave me.” She glanced round. They were alone in the gallery. “ You may kiss the back of my neck, if you like." The negro buried his head between her shoulders. She shivered ; her hair hissed under his kiss.
