In the dog days, when the water is warm and all the fish retire to the greater depths to enjoy the coolness, the music ceased. But on a moonlit night in August, the summer guests held a regatta. The master of the mine and his wife were present. They sat in a white boat and were slowly rowed about by their sons.
Constance Ellsworth if indeed it were true that she had come again so near to him need never know that he had been there. How could he learn if she had indeed come? How could he ever face her now?
