“Not now; it is useless. I hear my baby calling, Renny.”

“But—what will you do?”

“Walk back to Southampton.”

“To-night?”

“Part of the way, at least. When I get tired I shall sleep.”

“Sleep? Where?”

“Under some tree or bush. Where could I better?”

“Zyp! You mustn’t. Anything might happen to you.”

Her face took a flash of scorn.
