Emma, from what she had guess concerning the purchaser of The Crossways, apprehended a discovery there which might make Tony's treatment of him unkinder, seeing that she appeared actuated contrariously; and only her invalid's new happiness in the small excursions she was capable of taking to a definite spot, of some homely attractiveness, moved her to follow her own proposal for the journey.

Silence was unkinder than speech; and as they passed out into the open, he scanned the near prospect for a convenient spot.

As he put on his mittens to go, the talk turned upon Flossie and in natural sequence passed on to the "er horrid woman."
