In The Afternoon A Day Later, Leila, Making Her Escape From Her Aunt's
Busy Collections, Slipped Away Into The Woods Alone. The Solitude Of The
Early Woodland Days Of Summer Were What She Needed, And The Chance They
Gave For Such Tranquil Reflection As The Disturbance And Restless State
Of Her Home Just Now Made It Rarely Possible To Secure. She Tried To Put
Aside Her Increasing Anxiety About Her Uncle And Had More Difficulty In
Dealing With John Penhallow And His Over-Quiet Friendliness. She Thought
Too Of Her Own Coldly-Worded Letters And Of The Suffering Of Which She
Had Been Kept So Long Ignorant. He Had Loved Her Once; Did He Now? She
Was Annoyed To Hear The Voice Of Mark Rivers.
