It may be in three or four months, or it may be a year from now. When the war stops." There was a long silence as the walked up and down the swaying deck. "Do you know," said Nora at last, "I like you, Rufus Coleman. I don't know any good reason for it either, unless it is because you are such a brute. Now, when I was asking you if you were to be in London you were perfectly detestable.

His eyes did not seem to rest once upon Coleman, but they occupied themselves in furtive and frightened glances over the room. Coleman could make neither head nor tail of the affair.
Men are good losers. They keep quiet. Know better than to destroy their credit by squealing. Women have no credit, so they all squeal.
