And if anything could have made his presence more intolerable, it was the feeling she could not get rid of that it was the cause why Mr. Carleton did not come near her again; though she prolonged her stay in the drawing-room in the hope that he would. It proved to be for Mr. Thorn's benefit alone. "Well you staid all the evening after all," said Constance as they were going up stairs.
Perhaps we should all have had to go to Epsom! And I couldn't bear to see you in handcuffs, you know." "Don't you think we had better leave them alone?" I said to Miss Trevor. She smiled and shook her head. "You are blind as a bat, Mr. Crocker," she said. The Celebrity had weighed Miss Thorn's words and was listening passively now while she talked.
When I reached the cottage Afy refused to admit me; she was busy, and could not, she said. I felt sure she had got Thorn with her. She had, more than once before, refused to admit me when I had gone there by her own appointment, and I always found that Thorn's presence in the cottage was the obstacle."

They stopped. Their echoes rolled and reverberated among the hills. There was a hollow, tremendous intensification of the echoes aloft as if a dome of some solid substance had reflected back the sound.
Thorn, isn't it true?" Mrs. Thorn's look at Fleda was the essence of good humour. "Will you let Lewis come and take you a good long ride to- morrow?" "No, Mrs. Thorn, I believe not I intend to stay perseveringly at home to-morrow, and see if it is possible to be quiet a day in New York."
