You--" Just then Sir Charles came out, and stood amazed to see them in conversation.
"It happens that I am going by this train," said Trefusis.

"I will see after Miss Lindsay." "Miss Lindsay has her maid with her," said Sir Charles, almost stammering, and looking at Gertrude, whose expression was inscrutable.
"We can get into the Pullman car," said Trefusis.

"There we shall be as private as in a corner of a crowded drawing-room.

I may travel with you, may I not ?" he said, seeing Sir Charles's disturbed look, and turning to her for express permission.
She felt that to deny him would be to throw away her last chance of happiness.

Nevertheless she resolved to do it, though she should die of grief on the way to London.
