It was Cardo, she felt sure, and rising at once, she hurried some distance on the road in a sudden feeling of nervousness.
As Cardo approached the house he saw the light in his father's window, and pictured to himself the cold, pale face bending over the musty books. "Poor old dad!" he murmured.
"As far as I am concerned, let him come by all means, if you wish it, father; it can make no difference to me." "Indeed it will, though! You will have to show him about the neighbourhood, and lay yourself out to make his stay here as pleasant as possible, for he will pay well." "Pay!" said Cardo, with a frown, his sense of hospitality chafing under the idea. "Pay! that spoils it all.
The old parlour looked gloomy and dark, the bright afternoon sun, shining through the creepers which obscured the window, threw a green light over the table and the rigid, pale face of the Vicar. "You are late Cardo; where have you been?" "In the long meadow, sir, where I could hear some of the preaching going on below, and afterwards on the beach; it is a glorious afternoon.

And the result of her mental conflict was a very meek, almost inaudible knock. "Come in," shouted Cardo from within. Another pause, during which Cardo said, "Why the deuce don't you come in?" The door was slowly opened, and there appeared Valmai, blushing and trembling as if she had been caught in some delinquency.
Just in time, for Betto was placing on the table an appetising supper of cawl and bread and butter, which the two men were soon discussing silently, for the Vicar was more pre-occupied than usual, and Cardo, too, was busy with his own thoughts. Suddenly the former spoke. "Is the long meadow finished?" he said.
