It was Miss Porter's voice. This was followed by a rapid, half-restrained interchange of words between Hornsby and the driver. Then the latter said, gruffly, "If the lady wants to ride inside, let her."
But now her boy was clasped within her arms, his suddenly burning cheek pressed to hers, his wine-tainted breath, mingling with her half-restrained sobs as she cried over him only half coherently: "Ivan little one son of my heart you came back to me!" "Oh, little mother! Little mother! Keep me safe from him!"
The last words were spoken with a sort of half-restrained outburst, as if the pent-up passion must find some outlet. Mr. Fane-Smith was startled.
