It's on my way, I'm just off back to Pangbourne. My name's Mont. I saw you at the picture-gallery you remember when your father invited me to see his pictures." "Oh!" said Fleur; "yes the handkerchief." To this young man she owed Jon; and, taking his hand, she stepped down into the skiff. Still emotional, and a little out of breath, she sat silent; not so the young man.
He was still staring at that replica of Fleur, and worrying over Winifred's news, when his wife's voice said: "Mr. Michael Mont, Soames. You invited him to see your pictures." There was the cheerful young man of the Gallery off Cork Street! "Turned up, you see, sir; I live only four miles from Pangbourne. Jolly day, isn't it?"
Kitty held herself erect; her eyes, from which the tears were involuntarily dropping, were fixed on her husband. "Of course I guessed that," said Ashe. "It was Geoffrey brought me the news here, just as I was starting to go to the Alcots'. Then he said he had something to read me and it would be delicious to go to Pangbourne spend the day on the river and come back from Windsor at night by train.
What more could we possibly want? She was even a little offended at the inconclusiveness that did not settle things at Pangbourne. I seemed to her, I suspect, to reflect upon her judgment and good intentions. I didn't see things with Altiora's simplicity.

James, a slow and thorough eater, stopped the process of mastication. "Eh?" he said. "Now, where was that?" "Close to Pangbourne." James placed a piece of ham in his mouth, and June waited. "I suppose you wouldn't know whether the land about there was freehold?" he asked at last. "You wouldn't know anything about the price of land about there?" "Yes," said June; "I made inquiries."
