"I shall hang back till you come to the door, and signal to me that Miss Denning has gone. She mustn't see me like this." He smiled, and I went forward to where Mr Preddle was making himself very hot by using the bellows to aerate the water. "Yes yes, of course," he said. "I'll come."

Butler's health had already begun to fail, and when he started for Sicily on Good Friday, 1902, it was for the last time: he knew he was unfit to travel, but was determined to go, and was looking forward to meeting Mr. and Mrs. J.
