With a little touch of wilfulness, perhaps pride, she withdraws her hand. Rodney, with the boy at his side, is covering ground in a state of blissful uncertainty.

The fading light had kept people in the camp from seeing what had happened..

"Byron?" "You evidently want to get rid of me," says Rodney, discouraged, taking up his hat. He takes up her hand, too, and holds it warmly, and looks long and earnestly into her face..
