On this particularly eventful Saturday morning, Kenyon and Edith had the deck to themselves.
She raised her head, and looked full into the wonderful, pathetic, half-humorous, half-defiant eyes, and once again between her soul and Betty's was felt that firm, sure bond of sympathy. Involuntarily the girl came two or three steps closer. Mrs. Haddo, with a gesture, invited her to kneel by her, and took one of her hands.

The boy knew her voice; the laugh died out on his lips in an instant; he looked at her with a gaze half-frightened, half-defiant, and drew closer to the lady's side. "What is the matter, dear?" they heard her ask. Before he could reply, before any one could speak again, a terrible thing happened.

Piers made a reckless, half-defiant movement of the head. "It is that you will never whatever the circumstances speak of this thing again to anyone not even to me." "You think it necessary to ask that of me?" said Crowther. "No, I don't!" Impulsively Piers made answer. "I believe I'm a cur to ask it. But this thing has dogged me so persistently that I feel like an animal being run to earth.
