He was coming round the corner of one of the intersecting walks, coming at a frantic pace, with the tails of his frock-coat waving in the wind.

Excerpt: ...in her heart, for she had caught sight of Dr. Cautley in the distance. He was coming round the corner of one of the intersecting walks, coming at a frantic pace, with the tails of his frock-coat waving in the wind. He pulled himself up as he neared her and held out a friendly hand. "That's right, Miss Quincey. I'm delighted to see you out. You really are getting strong again, aren't you?"

His eyes-she could not be mistaken-were taking her in as they had done before. "And why not for you? Do you know, you're looking horribly tired. Suppose we sit down a bit." Miss Quincey admitted that it would be very nice. "Hadn't you better put your cape on-the wind's changing." She obeyed him. "That's hardly a thick enough wrap for this weather, is it?" She assured him it was very warm, very comfortable. "Do you know what I would like to do with you, Miss Quincey?"
