Elizabeth Gaskell Quote

He dreaded lest he should go forwards to meet her, with his arms held out in mute entreaty that she would come and nestle there, as she had done, all unheeded, the day before, but never unheeded again...She might droop, and flush, and flutter to his arms, as to her natural home and resting-place.
