Margaret's face had a troubled look as she gazed after him.
Strangely enough her trouble did not as usual touch me to the quick.
When Mr.Trelawny had gone, silence reigned.

I do not think that any of us wanted to talk.

Presently Margaret went to her room, and I went out on the terrace over the sea.

The fresh air and the beauty of all before helped to restore the good spirits which I had known earlier in the day.

Presently I felt myself actually rejoicing in the belief that the danger which I had feared from the Queen's violence on the coming night was obviated.
