Was he quite well when he went away?
Grizel asked, shaking.
The landlady and her daughter thought he was rather peakish, but he had not complained.
He went away for his health, Grizel informed them, and he was very ill now.

Oh, could they not tell her where he was?
All she knew was that he was very ill.

"I am engaged to be married to him," she said with dignity.

Without this strange certainty that Tommy loved her at last, she could not have trod the road which faced her now.

Even when she had left the house, where at their suggestion she was to call to-morrow, she found herself wondering at once what he would like her to do now, and she went straight to a hotel, and had her box sent to it from the station, and she remained there all day because she thought that this was what he would like her to do.
