Piers found himself gripping a limp, inanimate object, and with a sudden sense of overpowering horror he desisted.

Mrs. Denys, Mrs. Denys, what have you been doing?" He began to laugh, but stopped abruptly as Julian, who was seated near him, with a sudden, clumsy movement, upset a stream of cocoa across the breakfast-table.

It wasn't sudden enough for that.
