“What on earth was the matter with her, she wondered, acting silly like this! Just because she had been caught looking out the window. She had a right to look out the window, didn’t she, even if she was only a hired servant?

That’s why she let them make an airstrip over there on her property, so he could come just any time and not have to travel far after he landed.MoreLess
