"What promise?"
She put her hands up, quickly, to hide her convulsed face. He had forgotten!
"If you don't remember, that's release enough," she said, getting up.
He came forward and put his hand on her arm.
"You don't mean that about your going away from home?"
She nodded her averted head.
"Certainly I won't release you from that promise."
"Why not?" She turned swiftly on him. "What is it to you?"
"It's a great deal to me."
"Well, it's more to me. I've come to say I take my promise back."
