Since her return to England, Lilian had seen no one. She begged Denzil not to invite Glazzard to Clapham.
"To-morrow," said Quarrier, rising to go. It was on the edge of Plank's lips to say, "to-day!" but he was silent, knowing that Harrington would speak for him. And the old man did, without words, turning his iron visage on Quarrier with the silent dignity of despair. But Quarrier coldly demanded a day before they reckoned with Plank.
