Excerpt from Riding Out the Gale, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel
AT about one o'clock next day, Dr. Mostyn arrived at the Abbey, and asked to see Sir Lionel. After a moment's delay, he was asked to go to the library, whither he was accompanied by Haidee, who had joined bim'in the gallery. Sir Lionel frowned ominously when he saw her.
Good-morning, Dr. Mostyn. You wish - to speak to me, I believe? Oblige me by deferring your remarks for a short period. Haidee, I shall be busy for a time - favour me by with drawing.
I cannot, papa, Haidee said gently. Nor need I. For I saw Singleton yesterday, and was aware that this visit was intended.
