"Couldn't wait to be driven," he said, "so I left my baggage to follow. I'm not a stranger in these parts, you know."
Then he turned to Di.
"Can you be Hugh's daughter?"
Di laughed frankly and freely.
"My good man, his daughter is still in the submissive stage. Her years demand it. Can you see me as the General's daughter, Rowena? What high jinks I would lead him! I'm just a stray visitor, Mr. Ross; and your cousin will be more relieved than otherwise when I've gone!"
Then she swung herself lightly out of the hammock and, leaning against the tree, took out her silver cigarette case and began to smoke.
"Have one?" she said, offering her case to the newcomer.
He shook his head with a smile.
"I go in for a pipe."
He looked at her reflectively, then at Rowena.
