"That you should do this--for me!" And she answered him quickly and passionately, as though indeed there were something within that spoke for her, "I would do anything for you, Nap." It was drawing near to sunset when at last the end of the journey came in sight.

Anne perceived the car waiting in the distance close to the spot where Nap had descended upon her that morning.
She breathed a sigh of thankfulness.

"I scarcely thought he would have waited for you so long," she said.
"He daren't do otherwise," said Nap, and she caught a faint echo of arrogance in the words.
And then of his own free will he paused and faced her.

"You are coming with me," he said.
She shook her head.

"No, Nap." His eyes blazed redly.
