Chapter III
As it turned out, Frances had not the courage. Mr Waring strolled into the loggia shortly after Miss Durant had left her. He smiled when he heard of her visit, and asked what news she had brought. Tasie was the recognised channel for news, and seldom appeared without leaving some little story behind her. “I don’t think she had any news to-day, except that there had been a great many at the Sunday-school last Sunday.
