Strongly she ruled her spirit for the revivifying remeeting that awaited her just ahead.... But it was not Mr. Canning's voice which greeted her as she stepped up on the hotel piazza. It was the low, angry challenge of her soldier-mother, nipped in the act of charging upon the summer-house. "Carlisle!... In heaven's name, what have you been doing?"
