Apart from the graze on her forehead, she was feeling and looking well. The doctor still erred on the side of caution, not wishing her to go outside, even to sit in the summerhouse with Delphine, but when pressed on the point he at last gave way, his resistance having already been somewhat blunted by a lengthy and tiring confrontation with the duchess, whose wrath at being forced to use the wheelchair all the time was very considerable indeed When he had departed from Polwithiel, Bryony and Delphine decided to adjourn immediately to the summerhouse, Delphine to do her tambour work and Bryony to read a little more of The Romance of the Forest.
