Sally was silent, gazing away at the deep woods behind them. Her mother gazed wistfully at Sally and said nothing either. And Fox looked at them and was as silent as they. Some one came up and exchanged a few words with Fox and went away again; but neither Mrs. Ladue nor Sally said anything. Sally was still gazing off at the woods and seemed to be unaware of any new presence.
"Sally," said Fox.
She turned and looked at him, but still she said nothing.
"Didn't you know who that was?"
She shook her head. "Who what was?"
"The man who spoke to me? But I suppose you didn't know that anybody spoke to me. It was Horry Carling."
"Oh, was it?" She did not seem interested.
"He seemed to want to speak to you."
"Well, why didn't he?"
"Probably because you didn't seem to see him. Is there anything the matter, Sally?"
