“It is very kind of you, monsieur,” she murmured, looking down as coyly as any well-brought-up young lady.

He could keep cool when she was angry. He had plenty of experience with tantrums and tempers and had learned to act as if they didn’t affect him in the slightest.

But this affected him. She affected him.
