I'm sure it's a great deal more promising than the Hut was before Clarence and Geoff and I took hold of it. See, Elsie, this room is done.
Vernon uttered a sharp exclamation, and the girl seated before him clasped her hands tightly, but no other sign greeted Mason North's announcement. He passed his hand across his brow and drew a deep breath. "Hillery buried the child and nursed Gentleman Geoff through a long illness.
Price being the coward, pointedly said Theo. 'It isn't usually the fashion among brave men for two to set on one, is it, boys dear? she added tranquilly. Geoff gasped. Then his mouth, opening to sharply retort, shut with a click. He knew that his sister, though only a girl, was perfectly right. It had been an unfair, uneven conflict.
"Theo," said Lady Markland, "I am sure you did not mean to hurt him. It was an accident, after all. And Geoff, I am sure, never meant to interfere.

Few of the men had departed, those few who had ridden in from nearby haciendas where unwarned families waited in ignorance of the menace sweeping down upon them from the hills.

"Why, Theo has gone away! He wouldn't stop for lunch. I shouted to him, but he never paid any attention. Is he ill, or is he in trouble, or what's the Why, mamma! you are all trembling!" "Nonsense, Geoff, I have been sitting with the window open: and it is a little cold to-day." "Cold!" Geoff was so struck by the absurdity of the statement that he stopped to look at her.
