"I've never been in a motor before." "What?" "I really haven't. Don't talk: I want to enjoy it." Seeing that the girl was disinclined for speech, he increased the pace. Mavis was quite disappointed at the short time it took to reach the station. They got out, when Mavis learned that she had twenty minutes to wait. She was sorry, as she disliked the ardent way in which Lowther looked at her. She answered his remarks in monosyllables. "I'm afraid you're no end angry with me," he said presently. "Why?" she said coldly. "Because I punished Jill for disobedience." "It was cruel of you." "I made sure she was worrying you." "Indeed!" "But it was almost worth while to upset you, you looked so fine when you were angry." |
