"Agnes would not know, Madam, for she had unfortunately burnt her hand in trying the wick of the new lamp from town " Trimmle, as Mary was aware, had always been opposed to the new lamp "and so Mrs. Dockett sent the kitchen-maid instead." Mary looked again at the clock. "It's after two! Go and ask the kitchen-maid if Mr. Boyne left any word."
"You may bring tea if Mr. Boyne is in," she said, to justify her ring. "Very well, Madam. But Mr. Boyne is not in," said Trimmle, putting down the lamp. "Not in? You mean he's come back and gone out again?" "No, Madam. He's never been back." The dread stirred again, and Mary knew that now it had her fast. "Not since he went out with the gentleman?" "Not since he went out with the gentleman."
"He's gone out," Trimmle announced, with the superior air of one who has respectfully waited for the question that a well-ordered mind would have first propounded. Mary's previous conjecture had been right, then. Boyne must have gone to the gardens to meet her, and since she had missed him, it was clear that he had taken the shorter way by the south door, instead of going round to the court.
