"That is your wish, too," he continued. "You want her away from here. She and I are nothing to you. You were happy before we came!"
She darted a startled look at the man who could so well read her feelings.
"Mabyn is mad because she will not have him!" Garth went on. "He is always crazy for what he cannot have."
She turned her head again with the look that said so plainly, "How did you know that?"
"When we get her away, he will soon forget. All will be as it was before!"
She maintained her obstinate silence.
"Do I not speak true words?" Garth challenged.
She evaded the question. "If you go out, you send the police after him," she muttered.
He saw Mabyn's hand here. "I will not," he said quickly. "I give you my word on that!"
She looked at him incredulously. She did not understand the pledge.
