Egremont was standing as she had left him.
'Ah, now I can manage! Thank you.' With absorbed interest Thyrza watched the process.
'I saw them bringing the last box in,' she said; 'that's why I came to look.' 'That was a risk I foresaw--that someone would notice the cart.

But perhaps you are the only one.' 'I hope so--as you don't want any one to know.' She paused, then added: 'I was going to meet Lyddy--my sister.

I don't go to work myself now, Mr.Egremont.Perhaps Gilbert has told you ?' 'No, he hasn't mentioned it.

But I am glad to hear it.' 'I don't much like my sister going alone, but she doesn't really mind.' 'I hope I shall soon know your sister.' He had suspended the work, and stood with one foot upon the case.
Thyrza reflected, then said: 'I hope you will like her, Mr.Egremont.' 'I am sure I shall.

I know that you are very fond of your sister.' 'Yes.' Her voice faltered a little.
