"The cats are particularly strong on the wing just now. Mustn't miss a chance like this. Specially as there's a good moon, too. I shall be deadly." "I say, can't I come too?" A moonlight prowl, with or without an air-pistol, would just have suited Mike's mood. "No, you can't," said Wyatt.
"Good luck to you, my boy!" nodded the happy and therefore charitable Captain. Going down to the Count's pleasant room at the corner of the left wing, he found his host taking his coffee.
