did not mean to move until he had talked to her for a long time.

Terence saw that the time had come as it was fated to come,
but although he realised this he was completely calm and master

and persuading her to leave her seat. Rachel joined him too
in advising her to come with them.
"Of all the people I've ever met," he said, "you're the least adventurous.
You might be sitting on green chairs in Hyde Park. Are you
going to sit there the whole afternoon? Aren't you going to walk?"
