Passage Illustrated

"I must leave you now, Mr. Trelyon. Mind you do not go near Wenna when you get to Eglosiyan ——"

"She shan't even see me. I shall be there only a couple of days or so; then I am going to London. I am going to have a try at the Civil Service examinations — for first commissions, you know. I shall only come back to Eglosiyan for a day now and again at long intervals. You have promised to write to me, Mabyn — well, I'll send you my address."

She looked keenly at him as she offered him her hand. [Chapter XXIX, "Mabyn Dreams," 236 in the 1892 edition]
