Kate had not made a move to go, but she was thinking, when the question came, of how she might manage to escape. She flushed a little at being anticipated in her intention just enough perhaps to let him see he had caught her, not to say irritated her. As luck would have it, Van Horn, who had risen, sauntered towards them.
"The truth is, Mary, I came on purpose to have a word with you." Hearing this, Kate rushed on and pulled Larry by the tail of his coat. "How did you know I was to be there?" demanded Mary sharply. "I didn't know. I had reason to think you perhaps might be there. The girls I knew had been asking you to come as far as the bridge. At any rate I took my chance.
<b>GREENAWAY, KATE.</b> Member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colors, 1890. Born in London. 1846-1901. Her father was a well-known wood-engraver. Miss Greenaway first studied her art at the South Kensington School; then at Heatherley's life class and at the Slade School. She began to exhibit at the Dudley Gallery in 1868.

In a few minutes her guide stopped short. "Turn on your torch," she said. "There ought to be a wall close here." Jeanne did as she was bid, and gave a little stifled cry. "Why, we are close to the Red Hall!" she said.
"I'll go," she called to Kate; "it's a man I sent here on an errand, and I shall have to see him." "Very well, miss," said Kate, and went singing down the back-stairs with her broom. "This way," said Gypsy, opening the door. She led the way to her room, and the man who followed her shouldered her trunk with one hand, and carried it out to a carriage which stood at the door.
"I've owed Cassy this for a good many years, dad," said Black Andy, "and it had to be paid. She's got better stuff in her than any Baragar." An hour later, the old man said to Cassy at the door of her room: "You got to stay here and git well. It's yours, the same as the rest of us what's here." Then he went downstairs and sat with Aunt Kate by the fire.
The unexpected question disconcerted Kate, and instead of answering him coldly and briefly, as she had intended, said: 'Why, here; where did you expect me to be?
