However, she had no reason to repent of her choice; her husband was rich, affectionate, and easygoing, and gave her everything she wanted.
They reached the village and Arnold paid for the hire of his boat. Then he hurried Starling into the car, and a moment or two later they were off. "Is it far away?" Starling asked, nervously. "Ten minutes' ride. Sabatini has arranged it all very well. We get out, cross a meadow, and find him waiting for us in the punt." "You won't leave me alone with him on the river?" Starling begged.
