CHAPTER III
29/43

Emily, you will meet me ?' 'I will meet you.' He touched her fingers with his lips, took the paper, and hastened back to the house.

His absence had not seemed long: it was only of five minutes.

'It seems to have put you into excellent spirits,' remarked Mrs.
Rossall, as, followed by Beatrice, she approached the window.

All went back into the room after a few moments, and, as the air had grown cooler, the windows were closed.
