"Yes; but I wasn't half right enough. I ought to have made you tell the Doctor what you'd got in the box, and then he'd have insisted upon its being kept in a safer place." "But I wouldn't have given it up," cried Singh angrily. "Oh yes, you would," continued Glyn; "and I feel now that I ought to have gone straight to the Doctor and told about your going to see Professor Barclay."
"What's the matter?" asked Glyn anxiously. "Don't say Slegge's worse." "I wasn't going to, sir. It's something worse than that." "What?" "There's a gentleman along with the Doctor." "A gentleman!" cried the boys together. "Yes; a tall, military-looking gentleman, with long white starchers, and such a voice. He seemed as if he wanted to look me through.
"Morning," cried the Colonel, as he shook hands warmly with both. "You two invalids having your constitutional? Well, you ought to be taken off the sick-list now. I have just been having my walk before breakfast. I came past the Doctor's, but could not see anything of either of you." "Going in to breakfast, father?" said Glyn. "Yes, my boy. You had yours at eight o'clock, I suppose.
"What do you mean with your `through me'?" said Glyn. "Well, I don't quite know. It's because I am an Indian, I suppose; and when they talk to me as they do, and bully me, as you call it, it makes my heart feel hot and as if I should like to do something strange. But I am going to try. And look here, Glyn," said the lad very seriously, "I shall begin at once." "Begin what?"
"You shouldn't take my keys." "Yes, I should," said Glyn quietly. "I tell you you shouldn't." "Then you oughtn't to leave them stuck in your box, as if to invite all the servants to come and have a rummage, when you go out to a cricket-match." "I say, I didn't do that, did I? I had them in my pocket just before I started." "If you did, how could I have them in mine when you came back?"
"You have indeed, my dear," said the housekeeper reproachfully. "But oh, what a pity it is that young gentlemen will so far forget themselves! It grieves me; it does indeed." "But I don't forget myself," protested Glyn. "I was obliged to fight. You wouldn't have had me lie down and let him knock both of us about for nothing, would you, nurse I mean Mrs Hamton?"
One result, however, that chance encounter had. The next morning Miss Agatha Glyn received a letter in the following terms: "Madam: I hope you will excuse me intruding, but I think you would wish to know that Mr. Charles Merceron is in London, and that I met him this evening with Mr. Wentworth. As you informed me that you had passed Mr.
"No, no," cried Singh, and taking up the mug he held it to be filled and then drank heartily, Glyn following his example. "Beautiful clear water, young gentlemen, isn't it?" said the man. "The Doctor says it will make you strong, and there's iron enough in it to do any man good. I should like to have a well like that in my place when I start for myself.
"`A man who cannot govern himself," said Glyn slowly, "`is not fit to govern other people." "Oh, but I shall be a splendid governor by the time you have finished me off; and you will always be there to put me straight when I am going crooked; and I say, don't go and spoil a jolly day by a fuss over such a little matter as a bunch of keys." "No, I won't," said Glyn.
"You've saved us from a most awkward predicament," declared Mrs. Glyn Williams. "I hardly know how to thank you. Wasn't it clever of Babbie to think of it?" "We've never forgotten how you did a scene here once!" said Tudor. "Couldn't do it myself to save my life! And Gwen says the same. Oh, here she is! I was looking for you, Gwen! Here are the Ramsays, and Talland."
