There were brief times when she was alone with Sam, or almost, walking ahead of the Fairfords, or behind, on the way to or from a picnic. And they talked in low, urgent voices. Lily was now aware that they were being watched. That day, after Susan’s warning, they stepped ahead along the path.

‘She told me to keep away from you,’ Lily murmured.

‘Does she know?’ Sam’s voice was tense.

‘She guessed. It’s not surprising really, is it? She guessed last time as well. I mean look at us now. It must be very obvious. I told her she had nothing to worry about . . .’ For the first time she allowed reality to wash cold over the situation. Turning to him, she said, ‘Sam, I don’t know what to think. Whatever are we going to do?’

Sam stepped round a rock in the path, his face very serious. ‘God, I want to see you alone, Lily. To spend time with you somewhere so that we can talk properly.’

Lily felt just as desperate. It was wonderful to see Sam every day, but they had had so little time alone, and the days were rushing past. Only five remained, and he would be snatched away from her again. Until now she had barely allowed herself to think about it.

‘But how can we? Everyone is so determined to chaperone us.’

‘One evening? Could you get out, d’you think?’

‘Not tonight. I have to dine with Dr McBride and his guest. Perhaps tomorrow?’

‘Tomorrow,’ Sam said. ‘Without fail.’
