11/43 Mr.Newthorpe, who had been pacing on the grass, came to a seat. He placed himself next to Paula. She glanced at him, and he said kindly: 'You are quite sure you don't feel cold ?' 'I dare say I'd better go in,' she replied, checking a little sigh as she closed her magazine. 'You shall have a shawl, dear; I'll get it.' 'It is very warm,' put in Egremont. 'There surely can't be any danger in sitting till it grows dark.' This little fuss about her soothed Paula for a while. |
