And then they both turned round terrified, for the laugh which the old man gave sounded so very strange. "Let there be a storm," he said, a little embarrassed; "that won't matter at all. There are storms in married life too, sometimes, are there not?" In Kate's face there lurked something of her old mischievous look, but Greta drew down the corners of her mouth, as if she were going to cry.
Either she must obey or, so she thought, she must give the man she loved to a dreadful death. For his sake she would do it, for his sake and might God forgive her! Might God avenge her and him! Another instant and there came a knock upon the door. She opened it. "The Heer van Goorl stands below," said the voice of Greta, "wishing to see you, madam."
And even Olivia allowed that the Grange had not disappointed her. It was a fine, picturesque-looking house, and as they passed to the front, she had a glimpse of a handsome hall panelled in oak.

Lynette met them with a full, grave, answering denial. "No; I am nothing to the Duchess of Broads, or she to me.
