Such a squint as he had is not to be hidden, and that made the wonder that he had dared to do this all the greater.
I slept on it all, and woke with fewer fears on me, for I was overwrought yesterday after all the terrible waiting on the cliff and what went before.

It was Sunday, moreover, and the early services in the new church helped mightily to set a new face on things.

So when I had seen to the few duties of the morning, I went down the street to ask after Elfrida, being anxious to hear that her fright had done her no hurt.

Erpwald had been there before me, but I had missed him since.
Elfrida was well, and glad to see me.

We sat and talked of yesterday, and I found that Erpwald had said nothing of how he saved her, and it was pleasant to tell her of it, while she listened with eyes that sparkled.
