Every now and then Mark was lost to sight, as he plunged into some copse, following a devious footpath, but Richard caught sight of him again soon after.

His eyes lighted, he held out his hand to her. "It is good to see thee here," he said gently. "And 'tis the cross-roads once again, sir," she rejoined. "Thee means thee will marry Jasper?" "Ay, I will marry Jasper now," she answered. "It has been a long waiting." "It could not be till now," she responded.
