Only I think she'd have introduced him if he had been." His cousin faintly shrugged. "Shall you encourage that?" Peter Van Degen, who had strayed into his wife's box for a moment, caught the colloquy, and lifted his opera-glass. "The fellow next to Miss Spragg? Saw him in old Harmon Driscoll's office the day of the Eubaw Mine meeting. This chap's his secretary, or something.
"Yes," I replied, quietly, turning more fully towards him, "we were talking of you and your affairs." "I readily divined that from the look on Driscoll's innocent old mug as I entered. I am remarkably quick at reading other people's faces."
They were led by Colonel Driscoll, who, for all his sixty years, has found no work too arduous and no climate too unhealthy for his brave spirit. I knew him in the Boer War when he commanded Driscoll's Scouts, of happy, though irregular memory; their badge in those days, the harp of Erin on the side of their slouch hats, and known throughout the country wherever there was fighting to be had.

She told him other stories which had come to her ears of thefts as mysterious, followed by restorations as peculiar as this one, finishing with, "It is your daughter, and people are beginning to say so." And Miss Strange, brooding over these instances, would have said the same, but for Miss Driscoll's absolute serenity of demeanour and complete abandonment to love.
He was delighted with my plan, and backing Mrs Driscoll's objections to my being sent alone, it was finally arranged that he should take charge of me till he had handed me over to my uncle.
