"You disappoint me exceedingly. I had been thinking so much better of you; I conclude you were not alone yesterday."
"Not all the time, but most of it."
"Who was with you when you were not alone?"
Hetty hesitated, and then said, "Mark."
"But Mark was out riding with his father."
"Yes."
"And you were alone all that time."
"Yes."
"And yet there is something behind that you will not tell. Hetty, I always thought you frank till now. Why are you making a mystery?"
"I can't tell you, Miss Davis; I was not doing any harm."
