I've taken those same chances before, too, and, by Jove! I can take 'em again! All things considered," he added significantly, "seems to me er perhaps just as well I should be on hand." Yorke and Redmond exchanged rueful grins. "The old sport!" quoth the latter admiringly. "Damme, but I must say the Doc's game!" "It's the old 'ex-service spirit'," said Yorke quietly, "rum thing!
