Chance

You will notice that perhaps because of Fyne's solemn view of our

transient life and Mrs. Fyne's natural capacity for responsibility, it

had never occurred to them that the simplest way out of the difficulty

was to do nothing and dismiss the matter as no concern of theirs. Which

in a strict worldly sense it certainly was not. But they spent, Fyne

told me, a most disturbed afternoon, considering the ways and means of

dealing with the danger hanging over the head of the girl out for a ride

(and no doubt enjoying herself) with an abominable scamp.
