And Olivia consented readily. But though she thoroughly enjoyed the little expedition, and fell in love with Medhurst and the old church, the longed-for visit was only productive of disappointment to Greta.

He was quite close on them before he became aware that he had stumbled on Mrs. Medhurst, Margaret, and Diana. Though conscious of them, he had, in his abstraction, almost walked on them in the narrow road, making them turn instinctively.
"And Medhurst is Colonel Clay!" he exclaimed, clapping his hand to his forehead. "I beg your pardon, sir," the Colonel interposed. "I have but one personality, and no aliases." It took quite half an hour to explain this imbroglio.
