"What am I to do, Mr. Warner?" she repeated with a smile of perfect confidence.
"Why, I don't know, Philippa. What can you do down here at Saïs?"
"Tell me!" she insisted with undisturbed serenity.
"You couldn't very well remain here. You will have to go back to Ausone and consider this matter more seriously——"
"Ah, ça—non! I shall not go back!"
"What do you propose to do?"
She bit her grass stem:
"I don't know. I have my trunk in the punt——"
"What!"
"Certainly, I brought my effects! I have some money—not very much. I shall go to the inn and remain there until you have decided what it is best for me to do."
