"Oh, hush, some one is coming!" was her quick, throbbing reply.

When they parted a half-hour later, he said to her: "Will you give me my commission to go to Greyhope ?" "Oh no, I cannot," she said very gravely; "but come to Greyhope-when I go back." "And when will that be ?" he said, smiling, yet a little ruefully too.
"Please ask Mrs.Townley," she replied; "she is coming also." Marion, knew what that commission to go to Greyhope meant.

But she determined that he should see Lali first, before anything irrevocable was done.

She still looked upon Frank's marriage as a scandal.
