Let me introduce you formally to my brother! St. Bernard, my brother-in-law Tommy Denvers." Tommy came in through the window and shook hands with much heartiness. "The khit is seeing to everything. Pleased to meet you, sir! Beastly wet for you, I'm afraid, but there's worse things than rain in India. Hope you had a decent voyage." Bernard laughed in his easy, good-humoured fashion.
