Where is she ?" Sir Patrick pointed to the steps, with a smile.

Blanche had followed him from the house.

Arnold ran out to her instantly.
"Going ?" she said, a little sadly.
"I shall be back in two days," Arnold whispered.

"It's all right! Sir Patrick consents." She held him fast by the arm.

The hurried parting before other people seemed to be not a parting to Blanche's taste.
"You will lose the train!" cried Sir Patrick.
Geoffrey seized Arnold by the arm which Blanche was holding, and tore him--literally tore him--away.
