I just made up my mind to run away and explain afterwards.

I hadn't been at the table ten minutes before I saw Frank out of the window at the other side of the road.

He beckoned to me and then began walking into the Park.
I slipped out, put on my things, and followed him.

Some woman came talking something or other about Lord St.Simon to me--seemed to me from the little I heard as if he had a little secret of his own before marriage also--but I managed to get away from her and soon overtook Frank.

We got into a cab together, and away we drove to some lodgings he had taken in Gordon Square, and that was my true wedding after all those years of waiting.
