Chapter VI
As for Kate and Dr Mitford, they did not know very well what to say to each other. “What a charming day!” the girl said at intervals; “and what a pretty country! I never knew it until I took that unfortunate ride.” “Don’t speak of that,” said the old gentleman; “at least don’t speak of it _so_. It was a most fortunate ride, I am sure, for us.”
