Some men lazily raked new-cut grass and a peacock preened itself by the sundial. The glass conservatory showed signs of activity. The florists were at work for the coming event. Then he looked at his daughter, who waited with polite restraint until his reverie was ended.
Winifred silently kissed the sick man, and drifted out of the room. She again went the round of the green-houses and the conservatory, informing the gardener, in her high, peremptory, simple fashion, of what she wanted, telling him all the blooms she had selected. 'What do you want these for? Wilson asked. 'I want them, she said. She wished servants did not ask questions.

Farnham was sitting the next evening in his library, when Budsey entered and said Mr. Ferguson desired to see him.
