with strangers through their children.

Rosemary sat in silence for a few moments, taking in the full meaning of
her companion's answer to her last question. He had forgotten that Angel
was Angel! Though she was warmly wrapped in a soft rug of silvery fur, a
chill crept into her heart. Could it be that Nurse's words about father
had been true, after all; and if they were, was she doing harm, rather
than good, in bringing him home?
Presently Hugh waked out of his own thoughts, and noticed the little
girl's silence.
"You're not afraid?" he asked, blissfully unconscious of offence. "I'm
not driving too fast to please you?"
"Oh no," said Rosemary.
"You're not cold?"
"No, thank you."
"Nor tired?"
"No, not tired."
"But something is the matter?"
"I'm worrying," confessed the child.
