“Of course; how should I otherwise have known where you were? What should I have done with my valise? In response to Mr. Barlow’s kind invitation, I came prepared to stay at least a day. The valise would have been terribly in the way when I undertook the work of rescue.”
“I’m glad you are going to stay,” said Brenda. “It’s been just a little dull the last few days.”
“And you think that I ’ll make things livelier. Well, we ’ll see.”
As the carriage at this moment drove up to the door of Rockley, further conversation between Arthur and Brenda was interrupted.
