"Thanks, thanks. Yes, I should like so much to see it."
The noise frightened her, she held Johannes' hand and glanced up at the two men with big, listening eyes in case they should say something. She looked like a deaf person. All the wheels and machinery of the mill filled her with astonishment, she laughed, shook Johannes' hand in her excitement and pointed in all directions. The mill was stopped and started again so that she might see it.
Even for a good while after she had left the mill Camilla talked in a comically loud voice, as though the noise were still in her ears.
Johannes walked with her back to the Castle.
"Can you imagine his daring to hit you in the eye?" she said. "But then he went off at once, he left with the Laird to go shooting. It was a frightfully unpleasant thing to happen. Victoria didn't sleep a wink all night, she told me."
"Then she'll be able to sleep tonight," he answered. "When do you think you'll be going home again?"
"Tomorrow. When are you coming to town?"
"In the autumn. Can I meet you this afternoon?"
She exclaimed:
"Oh yes, do! You told me about your cave; you must show me that."
