CHAPTER X.
Florence Burton at the Rectory Harry Clavering went down to Stratton, slept one night at old Mr.
Burton's house, and drove Florence over to Clavering--twenty miles across the country, on the following day.

This journey together had been looked forward to with great delight by both of them, and Florence in spite of the snubbing which she had received from her lover because of her prudence, was very happy as she seated herself alongside of him in the vehicle which had been sent over from the rectory, and which he called a trap.

Not a word had as yet been said between them as to that snubbing, nor was Harry minded that anything should be said.

He meant to carry on his revenge by being dumb on that subject.

But such was not Florence's intention.
