I believe he had the notion that he could do it all by himself. He's a funny boy!" The Judge frowned. Although a year had passed since Enid had been found, the father could not talk, without emotion, of the man who had kidnapped his daughter when she was a child. Sol was in jail and would be there for many years, but still the father was uneasy.
"Well, and how are things going with you, dear Lady Enid?" She jumped under the transition as under a whip. "Me! But these parties you were telling me about?" But the Prophet remembered his oath. He was a strictly honourable little man, and never swore carelessly. "Parties!" he said. "You and I are too old friends to waste our life in chattering about such London nonsense."
You know I told you I was on the porch just across the road and went back to the hotel as soon as Campbell had turned his machine and gone home. That wasn't quite correct. I waited, because Enid didn't turn out the lights in the living room. It struck me as strange. "I waited, and I fell asleep.
It was abominable of you to go and see Enid, without a word to me! it was abominable to plot and plan behind my back, and then to force yourself on her and insult her to her face! Do you think a girl of any spirit whatever would put herself in your clutches after that? No! she didn't want to come it too hard on you that's her way! so she made up some tale about Glenwilliam.
Enid Crofton spoke in a dull, preoccupied tone. "Not so much as it used to be, not by any manner of means," said Mrs. Piper shrewdly. "Think it over, Mrs. Crofton and let us know what you can do.

Meldreth and her daughter some secret which the mother would gladly confess and the girl was fain to hide? A feeble voice sounded from the bed. "Is it Miss Enid?" said Mrs. Meldreth. "Has she come?" "No," said Sabina boldly and loudly. "You go to sleep, mother, and don't you bother about Miss Enid."
But because Geraint had first seen and loved her in the old faded silk, Enid folded it up with care and put it away among the things she loved. And a feast was made for the wedding-day, and in great joy Geraint and Enid were married. Day by day Geraint loved his wife more dearly.
They mounted a police car, and were driven away down the road, while into a second car the tenant of The Yews and his Italian manservant were placed under escort, and also driven away. The station-fly, in which Bailey had driven from Southminster, conveyed away Fetherston, Trendall, Sir Hugh, and Enid, while Deacon, with two men, was left in charge of the house of secrets.

My success with Enid I think was very tolerable. The manuscript still lies in my desk unpublished. As I was now engaged in studying the languages I easily learned to read Italian, Spanish, and Dutch books. In view of this experience, which is not wholly personal, I have wondered whether the instruction of boys might not be shortened to give them more outdoor exercise.
