'I will not—indeed I will not.' She turned away.
'Well, anyhow you will show me the van?'
'Yes. When you like.'
'I can't well go into Prickwillow as matters are between us and Drownlands—not that I bear him ill-will, but he is sour as a crab towards me. We will manage it somehow at some time. But I can't help thinking what fun it would be for us two to travel the world all over together, selling pots and pans. I wish I had been born a Cheap Jack. Where are you off to now, Zita?'
'I am going to see Kainie at Red Wings.'
'I will go with you. I also want to see her. I am very fond of Kainie, I am.' Said with a mischievous laugh.
'I daresay you are, but I am going alone.'
'Nonsense! I shall go with you. I must see Kainie. I have an errand to her.'
'Who sent you?'
Mark hesitated, then said, 'Well, no one. But it is business. I must go.'
