"We may have to stay here all night!"
"Well, at least we have a haven of refuge. They'll take us in at the hospital."
"I don't care to ask them. There's some one up there I don't wish to see. That's why I didn't go near the place to-day."
"You know best, of course. But, see here, don't you think you'd better go up there—"
"Not for worlds! We must find some other way." She began to pace back and forth in the dusk. "How unfortunate it is!"
"Is it because—I'm with you?" questioned the young man, with an effort. "Is that why you don't want to apply there?"
"No, no. Stephen's particular enemy is in charge up there. I detest the man, and the feeling is mutual, I believe." She sighed, and her glance fell. "We can't spend the night outdoors."
"Of course not, but—"
"What?"
He laughed to hide his embarrassment. "I'm wondering—what people will say."
