She left him; and, finding himself alone, he crossed the sward and sat down in a group of farmers who were discussing crops and planting.

Presently Saunders said: "I saw Leach looking for you at the arbor. Did you run across him?"
The guide told us these things, and he would hardly try so hazardous an experiment as the telling of a falsehood, when it is all he can do to speak the truth in English without getting the lock-jaw. In another place we were shown a sort of summer arbor, with a fence before it. We said that was nothing.
Do you remember the night in the old Thaine home in Virginia when you were our guest too sick to dance?" she asked. Asher caught her arm and drew her to the seat beside him. "I remember the jessamine vines and the arbor at the end of the rose garden." "We are not old until we forget our own romance days," Virginia said. "You were my hero that night. You are my hero still."
We were eating breakfast at the table set out under the arbor, back of the Coleridge cottage Grace, Myrtle, White Pigeon and I.

"I didn't know who you were then, though I was sure you were one of the boys whom I used to play with. Some time when Nelly is going down couldn't you take me too? I can row."
