Chapter XI
FOILED IN ONE DIRECTION Gregory lifted Miss Walton very tenderly into the carriage and took his place by her side, while her father was detained by some little matter of business. "I am not an invalid," said Annie, rather curtly. "Indeed you are not, Miss Walton; from your super-abundance you are even giving life to me." "I thought from your manner you feared I was about to faint," she answered, dryly. Mr. Walton joined them and they started homeward.
