It was his fellow-curate, the Reverend Golightly, who was still waiting to deliver his message. The canon had been disappointed in one of his preachers for Sunday, and being himself engaged to preside over the annual dinner of a dramatic benevolent fund to be held on the Saturday night, and therefore incapable of extra preparation, he desired that Mr.
Smith was left to bear the whole brunt of the storm. His obsequiousness to Lady Price had alienated his brother clergy, and his fellow-curate allowed himself to be kept aloof by his mother, in a manner that became ungenerous. Half petulant, and wholly ungracious, as Mr.
"Good-bye, dear lady," said John Storm; and before he could prevent her she had stooped over his hand and kissed it. John Storm had returned to his book and was clutching it with nervous fingers, when his fellow-curate came with a message from the canon to request his presence in the study. "Tell him I was on the point of going down," said John.
He said that he might or might not return himself to Australia, it would depend on circumstances; but that he could not be idle in England, and was likely to become either a fellow-curate of Rowland's, or a neighbouring one.

'Does that yacht belong here? eagerly asked Lance. 'That! It is the Kittiwake Captain Audley's. 'Ha! That's what Fulbert went to Alexandria in! What fun! 'He is the son of Sir Robert Audley. Do you know him? 'His brother was my father's fellow-curate, said Felix, 'and is our guardian and kindest friend. I have seen this one in London. Will he be at this picnic? 'Not likely.

Storm should take the sermon on Sunday morning. John promised to do so; and then his fellow-curate smiled, bowed, coughed, and left him. A small room was kept for the chaplain on the ground floor of the hospital, and he went down to it and wrote a letter. It was to the parson at Peel.
