Most of the time she was away at the school, and on the Saturday afternoon, when she was free, he went out to the Red Rocks curlew shooting.

At first he thought of asking her to come too, but then it occurred to him that she might wish to go out with Mr.Davies, to whom he still supposed she was engaged.

It was no affair of his, yet he was glad when he came back to find that she had been out with Effie, and not with Mr.Davies.

It was a bare little church, and the congregation was small.

Mr.Granger went through the service with about as much liveliness as a horse driving a machine.
