The General had been at first amused, then irked by Tyndale's quiet insistence that he must leave, but had capitulated at last. Since Devenish would not draw back from his promise to accompany his cousin, the end result was that they all would go. "If only," grunted Sir Andrew, "to detairmine if yon pile o' rubble is fit fer human habitation, regarrrding which, I hae me doots!" It had been decided that Josie would stay at Steep Drummond until Devenish returned, and he would then take her back to England with him, hoping to obtain the benefit of Lady Louisa's wisdom in the matter of her eventual disposition.

Yolande was outwardly as bright as she was inwardly disturbed. The ravages of a sleepless night had been concealed by Peattie's deft hands, and she was radiant in a primrose muslin dress buttoned high to the throat, a beautifully embroidered yellow shawl about her shoulders, and the poke of her bonnet a foam of primrose lace.
