"Augustin, it is Miss Mackarness! I remember her well!"
"Who the deuce is Miss Mackarness?" grumbled Bradstock.
But Titania paid no attention to him. Her eyes brightened. She became clever all at once.
"I remember," she said, "I remember!"
She called to the stranger in the road.
"I am so pleased to see you again after such a long time, Miss Mackarness," she said, kindly. "Are you still at Upwell Castle?"
"I'm going there now, ma'am," said the housekeeper, who didn't recognize her Grace.
"Are you walking?" asked Titania, kindly. "It is a long way to walk. You don't remember me, I see."
"No, ma'am," said Miss Mackarness.
"I am the Duchess of Goring," said Titania.
