"If you are not out in an hour I shall come and fetch you," he said.
She put forth an appealing hand like a child.

"I will come out, Stumpy.

I will come out," she said tremulously.
He pressed the hand for a moment.

"In an hour then, I want to show you everything.

There is plenty to be seen." He turned to the door, looked back with a parting smile, and went out.
Isabel did not see the smile.
