She was standing on the causeway with her aunt and a group of cousins feeding the chickens, at that quiet moment in the life Maillot Olympique Lyonnais of the farmyards before the afternoon milking-time.

Maggie, with her bonnet over her arm, was smiling down at the hatch of small fluffy chickens, when her aunt exclaimed —
“Goodness me! who is that gentleman coming in at the gate?”
It was a gentleman on a tall bay horse; and the flanks and neck of the horse were streaked black with fast riding. Maggie felt a beating at head and heart, horrible as the sudden leaping to life of a savage enemy who had feigned death.
