'Till death us do part, is what I said.'
'Then make haste. An hour hence the Ray house will be closed, and the girl and her mother in bed.'
'I will get my boat and row thither at once.'
'You need not do that. I have my boat here, jump in. We will each take an oar, and I will land you on the Ray.'
'You take a great interest in my affairs.'
'I take a very great interest in them,' said Rebow dryly.
'Lead the way, then.'
'Follow me.'
Rebow walked forward, over the shingle towards his boat, then suddenly turned, and asked in a suppressed voice, 'Do you know whither you are going?'
'To the Ray.'
