That was all." And she turned away from the angry girl.
All this time the other young people had said nothing.

It was really an embarrassing situation, considering that David had not said a word either for or against his sister.
"I think we had better not coast any more to-night," said Nora, after a pause.

"David has hurt his hand and Anne is so shaken that it would be well to give her something hot to drink.

Come on, everybody." "David, are you much hurt ?" asked Grace uneasily.
"Nothing but a little cut," he said shortly, so shortly that Grace flushed.

Perhaps he was angry with her for having spoken out to Miriam.
"I hope you aren't hurt much, David," said Miriam.
David made no reply.
"David," she repeated in a louder voice.
But her brother had started down the hill, his hands in his pockets.
Nobody took much notice of Miriam as the young people followed after him.
