midday
The best course for Lorry was to go out and look for her -- go to all those places where she might be . Aunt Ellen would be at the house , waiting , if she came , to tell her they were all right . And Lorry would return at intervals to see if she had come . If by midday she had n't , then there was Mark Burrage . She would go to him . But Chrystie would be back before then -- she might be there even now . Her rapid walk broke into a run and presently she was flying past the garden fence , sending her glance ahead under the trees .
