CHAPTER VII.
THE WALK HOME.
Mary Masters, when Reginald Morton had turned his back upon her at the bridge, was angry with herself and with him, which was reasonable; and very angry also with Larry Twentyman, which was unreasonable.

As she had at once acceded to Morton's proposal that they should walk round the house together, surely he should not have deserted her so soon.

It had not been her fault that the other man had come up.

She had not wanted him.

But she was aware that when the option had in some sort been left to herself, she had elected to walk back with Larry.
