"Ah, well, that's good so far. Master Terry'll be comin'; that's better. I'll be meetin' him at the late train?"
"How did you know?" she asked surprised; "the telegram has only just come."
"The gorsoon that brought it spread the news along the road. We was the last to hear it."
"Oh, of course," she said listlessly.
He looked at her anxiously.
"There'll be no use to trouble the master about that blackguard's lies?"
"No fear of that," she answered. "Nothing to hurt or harm him shall enter that room."
"Sure God's good always!" Patsy said reverently.
She went on to ask him for the key of the South lodge.
