After half an hour's tinkering, he was obliged ruefully to acknowledge himself utterly baffled. They were indeed in an extremely awkward situation, stranded on a wild moor, probably sixty miles from home, and with the short winter's day closing rapidly in. "What are we to do?" gasped Lilias, half-crying. "We can't stay here all night!" "Finish our prog and sleep in the car," suggested Roland.

To Rose and her mother, Wolf's and Norma's marriage remained one of the beautiful surprises of life; one of the things that, as sane mortals, they had dared neither to dream nor hope.
