Chapter VII
"How are we going to ride back?" asked Stoller. Burnamy almost turned pale; Miss Triscoe smiled impenetrably. No one else spoke, and Mrs. March said, with placid authority, "Oh, I think the way we came, is best." "Did that absurd creature," she apostrophized her husband as soon as she got him alone after their arrival at Pupp's, "think I was going to let him drive back with Agatha?" "I wonder," said March, "if that's what Burnamy calls her now?"
