CHAPTER IV--THE LADY ARABELLA MARCH
16/22

All would come in good time.

Then the three men returned home, leaving Mr.Caswall to spend the night in Liverpool.
The following day the Lesser Hill party set out for Castra Regis, and for the time Adam thought no more of Diana's Grove or of what mysteries it had contained--or might still contain.
The guests were crowding in, and special places were marked for important people.

Adam, seeing so many persons of varied degree, looked round for Lady Arabella, but could not locate her.

It was only when he saw the old- fashioned travelling carriage approach and heard the sound of cheering which went with it, that he realised that Edgar Caswall had arrived.
Then, on looking more closely, he saw that Lady Arabella, dressed as he had seen her last, was seated beside him.

When the carriage drew up at the great flight of steps, the host jumped down and gave her his hand.
It was evident to all that she was the chief guest at the festivities.
