FREEMAN DIDN’T MENTION the night visit to Alice again. There was no need. He rode into the village the next morning and didn’t come back till suppertime; over his toasted cheese and cider he mentioned that the two Nathan Clarkes had set out by chaise for Cambridge that noontime.

Alice returned to her work and put Nate out of her mind, or attempted to do so. During the daylight she did better at this than at the nighttime; during the daylight she could say to herself that she had kissed a boy and it was no strange thing for a girl her age to do. At night she could think only how different she felt now that she had touched her lips to another’s, how nothing on her was left virgin now, but how different it felt when a thing was given of her own free will.

As the nights added up, one atop the other, Alice also wondered why Nate didn’t send another letter.
