The pale dawn was breaking when the doctor arrived. His verdict was at first not without hope. She might live; if there were no internal injuries of importance. The next few hours would show. He sent his motor back to Whinborough Cottage Hospital for a couple of nurses, and prepared, himself, to stay the greater part of the day.
Thornburqh! And not a word for him, for him to whom she had given her promise? She had gone to Whinborough to avoid him, and she had gone in the brusquest way, that it might be unmistakable. The young man stood with his hands thrust into the pockets of his long coat, hearing with half an ear the remarks that Mrs. Leyburn was making to him about the picnic.
Judging a North countrywoman by the pusillanimous Southern standard, he found himself glorying in the weather. She could not wander far from him to-day. After the early dinner he escaped, just as the vicar's wife was devising an excuse on which to convey both him and herself to Burwood, and sallied forth with a mackintosh for a rush down the Whinborough road.

You see my hotel, and he pointed, smiling, to a white farmhouse standing just at the bend of the valley, where the road turned toward Whinborough. 'I persuaded the good woman there to give me a bed for the night, took my carriage a little farther, then, knowing I had friends in these parts, I came on to explore. Rose angrily felt her flush getting deeper and deeper.
Next morning, while every newspaper in the country was eagerly discussing the events at Dunchester, Catharine, in the solitude of Long Whindale, and with a full two hours yet to wait for the carrier who brought the papers from Whinborough, was pondering letters from Rose and Mary written from Dunchester on the preceding afternoon. Her prayer-book lay beside her.
'You stopped at Whinborough, intending to take the pass over to Ullswater, thence to make your way to Ambleside and Keswick or was it to Keswick and Ambleside? She looked up innocently. But the flashing glance she met abashed her again. 'Taquine! he said, 'but you shall not laugh me out of countenance. If I said all that to you just now, may I be forgiven.
What between her sudden taciturnity and Catherine's pale silence, the girls' sense of expectancy was roused to its highest pitch. 'They come back to-morrow night, said Rose, thoughtfully, 'and he goes Saturday 10.20 from Whinborough one day for the Fifth Act!

He went over to the neighbouring farm, to recruit some young men, and presently returned with them, the driver, also, from Whinborough, a stalwart Westmoreland lad, eager to help. Meanwhile Meynell had snatched some food at Catharine's urgent entreaty, and had stood a moment in the sitting-room, his hand in Mary's, looking down upon the just reviving Alice.
So she would sit and chat, working the while with the quickest, neatest of fingers, till Catherine knew as much about Jenny Tyson's Whinborough lover, and Farmer Tredall's troubles with his son, and the way in which that odious woman Molly Redgold bullied her little consumptive husband, as Agnes knew, which was saying a good deal. About themselves Agnes was frankness itself.
