"That is what I am afraid of," said Beale, "she is all pluck " He stopped, for he had heard the doctor's door close. In three strides he had crossed the hallway and was in the corridor, confronting his suave neighbour. Dr. van Heerden, carefully attired, was pulling on his gloves and smiled into the stern face of his rival. "Well," he asked pleasantly, "any news of Miss Cresswell?"
In its desperation was his only hope. The camp was encircled by three concentric rows of sentinels. They were mounted, and rode incessantly to and fro, through their short patrols. Night came.
