The long journey of the afternoon and evening; her timidity and revulsion of feeling; its culmination on reaching London; the crossing over to the down-platform and their immediate departure again, solely in obedience to her wish; the journey all night; their anxious watching for the dawn; their arrival at St. Launce's at last were detailed.
Stephen had long since returned to India; and the persevering couple themselves had migrated from Lord Luxellian's park at Endelstow to a comfortable roadside dwelling about a mile out of St. Launce's, where John had opened a small stone and slate yard in his own name. 'When we came here six months ago, continued Mrs.

'No, said Stephen, 'I am not expected till to-morrow. Knight was silent. 'And you are you going to Endelstow? said the younger man pointedly.
