"Why not ?" "Doctor's orders," he said imperturbably.
Violet laughed a little.

Olga's face flamed.
"That is absurd! I am going!" "Where's Nick ?" said Max unexpectedly.
"Somewhere in the garden with Sir Kersley.

I believe they went to see the vine." "Then go to him," said Max; "tell him I have forbidden you to go to church to-night, and see what he says." "I won't," said Olga.
She passed him without a second glance, and went indoors.
Violet laughed again.

Max turned towards her.

"Excuse me a moment!" he said, and therewith followed Olga into the house.
He overtook her at the foot of the stairs and stopped her without ceremony.
"Olga, what do you want to go to church for ?" She turned upon him in sudden, quivering anger.
