"Hark!" for feet were running down the path outside. "There you are, Sue!" said Anna Carroll, putting a glowing face in the sitting-room door. "I came back for you! The others said they would go slowly, and we can catch them if we hurry!" She came in, a brilliant, handsome young creature, in rough, well- worn walking attire, and a gipsyish hat.

She was a pretty little thing, very daintily formed, with tiny hands and feet, and big gipsyish brown eyes; and very delicate, very fragile she looked as if anything might carry her off.
