NORMAN'S first craving was for fresh air and rapid movement. He went along the lane, turned on into a side path, and presently emerged on a wide and lonely common, flooded with silver light. Across it led a road, and this he followed. Overhead, the moon shone brightly.
His mind was bent upon the past talk, especially upon Dulcie's unexpected confession. He realized afresh how devoted a sister she had been; he saw the heart-break that must have been hers, had he fled as he purposed. He understood what her position would have been, had she been left alone to meet her former lover and to bear the brunt of her brother's wrong-doing.
