Chapter XXXII
Snow was falling when Zebedee at last drove up the road, and from the window of Mildred Caniper's bedroom Helen watched his huddled figure and the striving horse. She saw him look for the obliterated track and then turn towards the shelter of Brent Farm. "Is he coming?" Mildred asked. She was childishly interested in his return.
