I paused to talk to the other officers; they say that they are sure that you are very beautiful and have a warm heart, and would like to send them a five-storey layer cake, half a dozen bottles of port and one Paris chef. At present I am the Dives of the mess and dole out luxuries to these Lazaruses. Good-bye for the present. Yours ever lovingly, CON. December 6th, 1916.
They had removed every scrap of the belongings of both the fugitives. "I can understand this wretched Leah, now," said Atwater.

She hails with delight her return to America!
He thanked her for her good offices and with flowing tears repeated these couplets, O thou heart-whole and free from dole and dolours I endure, * Cut short thy long persistency nor question of my case: A sweet-lipped one and soft of sides and cast in shapeliest mould * Hath stormed my heart with honied lure and honied words of grace.
I would find Lutuf Ullah, my partner. 'The deuce you did? And you didn't bother your head about it? 'Pon my word, it's just almost as well that I met you. What were they like, eh?
