I had in my mind to give you a lesson, especially as I owed you some punishment for your impertinence in opening my friend Copplestone's private letters. You have had the lesson; profit by it." Dawson flushed angrily. "Punishment! Impertinence! This to me!" "Yes," returned the Admiral stiffly, "beastly impertinence." Dawson showed no malice towards the Admiral or myself for our treatment of him.
"I don't remember meeting Mr. Bassett Oliver out there. But then I met so many Englishmen in one place or another that I may have been introduced to him somewhere, at some time, and forgotten all about it." Stafford spoke with unnecessary abruptness, in Copplestone's opinion. "I don't think it very likely that any one would forget Bassett Oliver," he said.
I sprang up, moved round to a position whence I could see clearly the visitor's ears, and gasped. It was Dawson beyond a doubt, but it was not the Dawson whom I had known in the north. So what I had vaguely surmised was true Cary's Dawson and Copplestone's Dawson were utterly unlike.
And of such a serious nature that I've taken the liberty of telling them who and what you really are. You'll forgive me when you hear what it is that we've learnt here this morning." Gilling had looked rather doubtful at Copplestone's announcement, but he immediately turned towards the cottage. "Oh, well!" he said good-naturedly.
