They were free of roads, free of mankind, and the same exhilaration at their freedom ran through them all.' ) . '

Mrs. Ambrose drew her arm within her husband's, and as they moved off it could be seen from the way in which her sloping cheek turned up to his that she had something private to communicate." ) . '
