"Am I late, have you come to meet me; and what have you done with your luggage ?" "I have sent it on," he returned quietly; "it is such a lovely afternoon that I preferred to walk.

No, I did not come to meet you; for all I knew, you might have been at the Wood House.

I only had a fancy that I should like to see the woodlands again, and then I saw you coming." "It is not my usual afternoon for Rotherwood," she returned quickly, but a faint colour had come in her face at his words; "but I am there most days.

You know, of course--Dinah will have told you--of the new interest I have there.

I think Die tells you most things," she continued, with the same glimmer of a smile on her lips.
"Yes, she is very good," he returned gravely.
