Shy children from the pine woods, big brothers with little sisters and big sisters with little brothers, drifted out of the encircling forest. Coincident with the arrival of the last of these stragglers Mrs. Ferris and Miss Malroy appeared, attended by a colored groom.
He had met a gentleman and lady on the road that day; he wondered, as he toyed with his glass, if it could have been the Ferrises? Mounted? Yes, mounted. Then it was Ferris and his wife or it might have been Captain Murrell and Miss Malroy the captain was a strapping, black-haired chap who rode a big bay horse. Miss Malroy did not live in that part of the country; she was a friend of Mrs.
"I'm like I was gone to sleep all over," he said. "You'll feel better in a moment. Tell me about Miss Malroy?" "They done fetched us here last night.

"The thing for us to do you and I, Price is to clear out of here," said Mahaffy. "But what of the boy?" "Leave him with his friends." "How do you know Miss Malroy would be willing to assume his care? It's scandalous the way you leap at conclusions.
