The girl's cheeks paled perceptibly.
"Are you going back to Boston?" she asked.
"No, not for some time," Quincy replied, "but I have had some advice
given me and I think it best to follow it."
"You have been advised to leave my father's house," said she, holding
the reins listlessly in her hand.
Quincy said, "You won't be offended if I tell you the whole truth?"
"No; why should I?" asked Huldy.
