There, at the extreme end of the line, stood a young man who, as far as appearance went, was the ideal Lord Finchley, as far as appearance went, a far better Lord Finchley than the late Mr Hill. He beckoned imperiously. "You at the end!" "Me?" said the young man. "Yes, you. What's your name?" "Rooke. Frederick Rooke, don't you know." "You're English, aren't you?" "Eh? Oh, yes, absolutely!"
"You've been through a thing or two," his friend said, when Frederick confirmed the newspaper account of his having witnessed the sinking of the Roland. "I believe you're a married man and have children and are living in Germany, and as an avocation are doing scientific work, while practising medicine as a vocation.
The girl was taken away at her father's death by her uncle Frederick, who, having sown an unusual crop of wild oats, had married one of those inordinately wealthy American women to whom the sun itself appears little more than a magnified gold-piece and of course between the two she has had a very bad training.

Indeed, the safety of his army depended, in some degree, on the route selected; and the safest way to the Holy Land was understood to be by Sicily.
