Gering's face darkens. "We are not likely to meet." "Pardon! very likely. Six months ago he was coming back from France. He will find you. I know the race." A sneer is on Gering's face.
If she is civil and affable to them, oh, they are the man directly, when, instead of that, if it was so, she would more likely be shy and half afraid to come near them. David, you are in a fool's paradise. In company, and even in flirtation, all sorts meet and part again; but it isn't so with marriage.
