"Are you from England, sister?"
"From England—yes; but we made some stay in Australia by the way," said Eleanor turning from the window to take a more sociable position nearer her hostess.
"A long voyage?"
"Not remarkably long. I had good companions."
"From what part of England?"
"The borders of Wales, last."
"Brother Rhys is from Wales—isn't he?"
"I do not know," said Eleanor, vexed to feel the flush of blood to her cheeks.
"Ah? You have known brother Rhys before?" with a searching look.
"Yes."
