"I am very glad to see you; but you find me extremely busy. There are so many things to be thought of just now, and so many letters to be written." "Yes?" Philip responded absently.

"Good-morning, sir," said Tom cheerily. "Good-morning, Thomas Blount," was the reply, in very grave tones, accompanied by a searching look.

"We, of course, will stand fast, and cover their retirement." This most characteristic announcement was received with a matter-of-fact "Varra good, sir," from its recipients, and the Colonel passed on to where the two officers were standing.
