The following morning there emerged from the iron gates of 'Dorset Park' a fashionably attired horseman, riding a thoroughbred in the pink of condition. It was Donald upon his famous racer, 'Tomboy.' He was on his way to Woollahra to call for Beatrice to ride with him to Storm-Cliff.
"We'd better show ourselves openly," he said; "they'll be less suspicious." So after a smart canter, on nearing Storm-Cliff, they rode their horses slowly, walking them through the village and around by Skinner's cottage, and on from there to the party of labourers excavating at the ruins.
