"The Pilot may explain." "Is there anything your Pilot can't do ?" said Lady Charlotte.
"Try him," I ventured.
"I mean to," she replied, "but I cannot bring anyone to my canyon, I fear," she added in an uncertain voice.
As I left her at her door she thanked me with courteous grace.
"You have done a great deal for me," she said, giving me her hand.

"It has been a beautiful, a wonderful day." When I told the Pilot all the day's doings, he burst out: "What a stupid and self-righteous fool I have been! I never thought there could be any canyon in her life.

How short our sight is!" and all that night I could get almost no words from him.
That was the first of many visits to Gwen.

Not a week passed but Lady Charlotte took the trail to the Meredith ranch and spent an hour at Gwen's window.

Often The Pilot found her there.
