1/35 ADAIR INTERFERES Ethne had thought to escape quite unobserved; but Mrs.Adair was sitting upon the terrace in the shadow of the house and not very far from the open window of the drawing-room. She saw Ethne lightly cross the terrace and run down the steps into the garden, and she wondered at the precipitancy of her movements. Ethne seemed to be taking flight, and in a sort of desperation. The incident was singular, and remarkably singular to Mrs.Adair, who from the angle in which she sat commanded a view of that open window through which the moonlight shone. |
