My daughter Kate bowed in a dignified manner, scarcely looking at her. Her eyes were fixed on a smaller, slighter figure shrinking behind her. "Hallo, Eeny!" cried the Captain, catching her in his arms; "trying to play hide-and-go-seek, are you?
In one of the long corridors we were traversing, we heard the voice of merriment, and found a gay party of young people and children amusing themselves at games.
