It also might have been noticed as he cantered down the drive that his legs did not stick out so stiffly, nor did his person bob so exactingly as on previous but peaceful expeditions. In fact, he seemed a bit limp. But his face was set determinedly for the border line and Shaw. Mr. Shaw was a tall young man of thirty or thereabouts, smooth-faced, good-looking and athletic.
