Her heart leapt at the sight of him and her cheeks seemed to catch the hue of the wild rose on her bosom. Then she straightened her dress a little and walked on. In less than a minute they had met. "I heard where you had gone and came to meet you," he said awkwardly.
At the next instant, his master was at the throat of the offender, throttling him till he was black in the face. The unlucky stone had come from Conrad.
