"Yet you're sure you never came across Mrs. Lascelles there?" "India's a large place," I said, smiling as I shook my head. "I wonder if Hamilton did," speculated Quinby aloud.
The girl looked pityingly at him and shook her head while her parents listened curiously. "We are sorry," she said, "so sorry; but you were not wise to escape. We cannot shelter you.

Come for a couple of months, anyhow: of course you'll be our guest, please."

Sometimes, when I think what his father was, I'm thankful that George is dead. For at least his end was heroic. He died in a noble cause, in the performance of his duty.
