“Rogue!” he answered, enfolding her.
But within a couple of days she had another request to make of him, and that was that they might go to their own house in Horwick at the earliest moment. She gave as her reason for this that she might be helpful to Sally Northrop, and he frowned.

She answered looking away. “I’m happy where my husband is.”
“Has anything upset you?”
“No, no.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes,” she replied; “but oh, I could like to see you in our little house, engraving your seals and plates again!”
“That you shall see soon—the little house, at all events.”
“Not to-morrow, Arthur, nor this week, for I’m going to cut the teazels; but very soon we’ll go, won’t we?” she pleaded.
