The moon peeped over the eastern hills.

The country-side was silent.

Dorian thought of the strange events of the evening.

This Mr.Lamont had not only captured Carlia but Dorian also.
"If I were out with a girl," reasoned Dorian, "I certainly wouldn't want a third person along if I could help it." Why should this man be so eager to have his company?
Dorian did not understand, not then.
In a short time they drove up to Carlia's gate, and she and Dorian alighted.

The driver did not get out.
