In asking the question her face was towards the window, and suddenly her cheeks became a rosy red. She instantly looked another way. 'Having my own office so near, it was not necessary, thank you, replied Havill, as, noting her countenance, he allowed his glance to stray into the street. Somerset was walking past on the opposite side.
'I am on my way to the railway-station, she said to Havill. 'I shall be absent from home for several weeks, and since you requested it, I have called to inquire how you are getting on with the design. 'Please look it over, said Havill, placing a seat for her. 'No, said Paula. 'I think it would be unfair.
Woodwell, Havill the architect, the rector of the parish, the curate, and many others known to them by sight. These, as soon as they saw the young couple, came forward with words of condolence, imagining them to have been burnt out of bed, and vied with each other in offering them a lodging.
'I wish myself out of this! breathed Havill to Dare, as he buttoned his coat over his white waistcoat. 'I told you it was true, but you wouldn't believe. I wouldn't she should catch me here eavesdropping for the world! 'Courage, Man Friday, said his cooler comrade. Paula and her lover backed yet further, till the hem of her skirt touched Havill's feet.
The castle to-night was as gloomy as the meads. As Havill had explained, the habitable rooms were just now undergoing a scour, and the main block of buildings was empty even of the few servants who had been retained, they having for comfort's sake taken up their quarters in the detached rooms adjoining the entrance archway.
Havill seemed to be too indifferent to press his questioning; and when all the soldiers had passed by, Dare observed to his companion that he should leave him for a short time, but would return in the afternoon or next day. After this he walked up the street in the rear of the artillery, following them to the barracks.

The rising ground soon revealed the old towers to him, and, jutting out behind them, the scaffoldings for the new wing. While halting here on the knoll in some doubt about his movements he beheld a man coming along the road, and was soon confronted by his former competitor, Havill.
He crossed over, and rang the office bell. The clerk who admitted him stated that Mr. Havill was in his private room, and would be disengaged in a short time. While Dare waited the clerk affixed to the door a piece of paper bearing the words 'Back at 2, and went away to his dinner, leaving Dare in the room alone. Dare looked at the different drawings on the boards about the room.
'Is it rather good? he asked. 'Yes, rather, said Havill, subduing himself. 'More than rather? 'Yes, the clever devil! exclaimed Havill, unable to depreciate longer. 'How? 'The riddle that has worried me three weeks he has solved in a way which is simplicity itself. He has got it, and I am undone! 'Nonsense, don't give way. Let's make a tracing.
