But she addressed herself to her cousin.
"Fanny, I want to introduce Mr.Marsham to you." Fanny Merton held out her hand, staring a little oddly at the gentleman presented to her.

Alicia meanwhile was looking at Diana, while she spoke--with emphasis--to Marsham.
"Could you order my horse, Oliver?
I think we ought to be going back." "Would you mind asking Sir James ?" Marsham pointed to the upper terrace.
"I have something to see to in the garden." Diana said hurriedly that Mrs.Colwood would send the order to the stables, and that she herself would not be long.

Alicia took no notice of this remark.

She still looked at Oliver.
"You'll come back with us, won't you ?" Marsham flushed.

"I have only just arrived," he said, rather sharply.
"Please don't wait for me .-- Shall we go on ?" he said, turning to Diana.
They walked on.
