Overhead, the larks, rising and falling upon their fountains of song, seemed to mock the way men worshipped Almighty God. Mark had not spent a more unhappy Easter since the days of Haverton House.

Then, quite suddenly, one day, when they had got home late, and more than usually tired, the next and long-hoped-for step was decided upon. They would rent a stall in the market for the winter months, at any rate, and they would begin on the very next Saturday as ever was.
