And Greta owned rather regretfully that her friend was right. Her poor little air-castles had crumbled into nothingness. Her longings for the sweet country air and rustic quiet were doomed to be frustrated. In her heart she felt that Olivia was wise. A solitary life at Ivy Dene would hardly content her. And after all was she so ready to leave Brompton?
I have never worshipped at the shrine of a painted goddess." Something rose in her throat and she put up a hand to hide it. "I doubt if Dene Strange was ever capable of worshipping anything," she said. His hand closed upon her. "Does that mean that you hate him more than you love me?" he said. A faint quiver crossed her face. She passed the question by.
It was a favourite place for smugglers in the old days, and they call it Darkman's Dene to this day in memory of a famous old smuggler that used it a good deal.
Poor little Bulfinch shot himself in the Bois last June. He had delirium tremens. Poor little chap! There's a Miss Dene here, who knows you. Braith has met her.

And again she asked herself, "I wonder if dear Angela knows about the Prince?"
"So I was, madam; to the world; but I have returned from the grave to find my son," said Mr. Clendon. "Well, I am glad!" cried Lady Gridborough. "You must both come and stay with me. Now, you won't refuse, Mr. Dene, will you?" She looked at Mr. Clendon pleadingly, and then with confusion and embarrassment, as they both remained silent.

Was Nick's interest in her Angela less than, and different from, his interest in Mrs. Gaylor? She had no right to know, no right to want to know, still less to try to find out.
It's a trail of sand and stone that leaves no tracks, a lucky thing for you. Dene wasn't in Lund while you were there else you wouldn't be here. He hasn't seen you, and he can't be certain of your trail. Maybe he rode to Bane, but still we may find a way " One of his sons whistled low, causing Naab to rise slowly, to peer into the darkness, to listen intently.
