The book on astronomy she dipped into, turning it to look at the full-page illustrations of certain constellations that were to Jack like old friends.

She must go, she said; and she went, almost as suddenly as she came, and never mentioned her half-formed determination to wait up there for the sunset. Jack went with her as far as he dared, and stood under a wind-tortured balsam fir and watched her out of sight.
