As
for
Owen
,
who
had
reached
his
legal
majority
two
years
before
,
and
was
soon
to
attain
the
age
fixed
for
the
taking
over
of
his
paternal
inheritance
,
the
arrival
of
this
date
would
reduce
his
step
-
mother
s
responsibility
to
a
friendly
concern
for
his
welfare
.
This
made
for
the
prompt
realization
of
Darrow
s
wishes
,
and
there
seemed
no
reason
why
the
marriage
should
not
take
place
within
the
six
weeks
that
remained
of
his
leave
.
642
They
passed
out
of
the
wood
-
walk
into
the
open
brightness
of
the
garden
.
The
noon
sunlight
sheeted
with
gold
the
bronze
flanks
of
the
polygonal
yews
.
Chrysanthemums
,
russet
,
saffron
and
orange
,
glowed
like
the
efflorescence
of
an
enchanted
forest
;
belts
of
red
begonia
purpling
to
wine
-
colour
ran
like
smouldering
flame
among
the
borders
;
and
above
this
outspread
tapestry
the
house
extended
its
harmonious
length
,
the
soberness
of
its
lines
softened
to
grace
in
the
luminous
misty
air
.
643
Darrow
stood
still
,
and
Anna
felt
that
his
glance
was
travelling
from
her
to
the
scene
about
them
and
then
back
to
her
face
.

You
re
sure
you
re
prepared
to
give
up
Givre
?
You
look
so
made
for
each
other
!
645
Oh
,
Givre
She
broke
off
suddenly
,
feeling
as
if
her
too
careless
tone
had
delivered
all
her
past
into
his
hands
;
and
with
one
of
her
instinctive
movements
of
recoil
she
added
:
When
Owen
marries
I
shall
have
to
give
it
up
.
646
647
When
Owen
marries
?
That
s
looking
some
distance
ahead
!
I
want
to
be
told
that
meanwhile
you
ll
have
no
regrets
.

She
hesitated
.
Why
did
he
press
her
to
uncover
to
him
her
poor
starved
past
?
A
vague
feeling
of
loyalty
,
a
desire
to
spare
what
could
no
longer
harm
her
,
made
her
answer
evasively
:
There
will
probably
be
no
meanwhile
.
Owen
may
marry
before
long
.
649
She
had
not
meant
to
touch
on
the
subject
,
for
her
step
-
son
had
sworn
her
to
provisional
secrecy
;
but
since
the
shortness
of
Darrow
s
leave
necessitated
a
prompt
adjustment
of
their
own
plans
,
it
was
,
after
all
,
inevitable
that
she
should
give
him
at
least
a
hint
of
Owen
s
.
650
Owen
marry
?
Why
,
he
always
seems
like
a
faun
in
flannels
!
I
hope
he
s
found
a
dryad
.
There
might
easily
be
one
left
in
these
blue
-
and
-
gold
woods
.
