The third day of her stay a letter from her uncle came to her. Her cousin was married and gone away, he wrote, and he would be only too glad to forget and forgive by-gones. Two days later, Frank Moray saw her safely on the train which would take her as far as Clayton, where her uncle promised to meet her.
