Geoffrey, who has tears in his eyes, takes her in his arms and kisses her once softly, before them all. "I want you to leave Ireland—not next month, or next week, but at once.

The two friends entered the lodge, where a smouldering fire sent a feeble smoke up to the smoke hole, that was partly open.
