"Yes, Wilfrid; go after her," said Adela, divining his object.

well let her keep her promise; and then hurry her home. They will saddle
you a horse down below, if you care to have one."

Wilfrid thanked her ladyship, and declined the horse. He was soon
walking rapidly under a rough sky in the direction of Ipley, with no firm
thought that he would find Emilia there.
