Dan and I will go to the inn, and I will come round in an hour.

If we were to walk in together like this, it would be next to impossible for you to explain how it all came about." "I think that would be the best plan.

My two aunts are the kindest creatures possible, but no doubt they will be bewildered at seeing me so suddenly.

I do think it would be best to let me have a talk with them, and tell them all about it, before you appear upon the scene." "Very well, then, in an hour I will come in." When they arrived at the gate, therefore, Vincent helped Lucy and Chloe to alight, and then, jumping into the buggy again, told the driver to take him to the hotel.
After engaging a room and enjoying a bath, Vincent sallied out into the little town, and was fortunate enough to succeed in purchasing a suit of tweed clothes, which, although they scarcely fitted as if they had been made for him, were still an immense improvement upon the rough clothes in which he had traveled.

Returning to the hotel, he put on his new purchases, and then walked to the house of Lucy's aunts, which was a quarter of a mile outside the town.
Lucy had walked up the little path through the garden in front of the house, and turning the handle of the door, had entered unannounced and walked straight into the parlor.
