Chapter IX
Maraton walked alone with Elisabeth on the following afternoon in the flower garden at Lyndwood. She was apologising for some unexpected additions to the number of their guests.

I know that he wanted to have as much time as possible alone with you before Monday. It is on Monday you go to Manchester, isn't it?"
