Miss Carter was wrapped in an old cape, and her turban was on one side, but she looked rosier than usual. "I've been half-way out to Chevy Chase," she said, "and I was just thinking of paying poor old General Lathom a visit.

Connie, sitting hunched on the music-stool, her chin on her hand, was thinking of Falloden's outburst, and her own rebuff in Lathom Woods. The boy shrugged his shoulders.
