Chapter XVI
DJACK There came a day when he did not see Maryette as he left for the corral in the morning. Her father, very stiff with rheumatism, sat in the sun outside the arched entrance to the inn. "No," he said, "she is going to be gone all day today. She has set and wound the drum in the belfry so that the carillon shall play every hour while she is absent." "Where has she gone?" inquired Burley.
