He looked up expectantly as she came in.
Stella seemed to have forgotten her annoyance when she came in to tea, for she was laughing heartily; but when Vava asked her if she were tired, she said, 'No, very coldly, and addressed no more conversation to her. Vava consequently talked to Eva; but this kind of thing could not go on, and after tea, when she found herself with Mrs. Morrison, she unburdened herself to her old nurse.
Then he saw the Hallidays coming through the gate of the Crescent, Stella a little in front of Phil and the children, with their baskets, and instinctively he drew back. His heart, too sore and discomfited, shrank from this encounter, yet wanted its friendly solace bore a grudge against this influence, yet craved its cool innocence, and the pleasure of watching Stella's face.
His sister seemed to resent the presence of a stranger. "The work is at a standstill," she said and passed into the front room.

She put the bank-notes into the pocket of the boy's jacket, and whispered to him: "Give them to your mother when I have gone away."
In the end she turned to him abruptly. "I am puzzled," she cried. "I think it's strange that since you are Stella's friend I knew nothing of that friendship nothing whatever." Thresk shrugged his shoulders. "It is years since we met, as I told you. She has new interests." "They have not destroyed the old ones. We remember home things out here, all of us. Stella like the rest.
At last, after generous greasing of palms, permission was given for Count Roumovski to walk on and find his sister. And Stella was put back into the motor to await their coming.

'He declares the furniture is not worth the half now, and threatens to take the matter into court, and put Eva in prison for getting goods under false pretences. 'Has she no relations to whom she could go for advice? Surely she cannot be alone in the world? Stella asked anxiously.
"Ah, I have begun to do that already," he said, with a touch of sadness. "I wonder if you are as lonely up here as I am at Udalkhand." She kissed his sleeve. "I miss you unspeakably," she said.
