"Holbein, how brave of you!" cried a voice behind me. "Good-morning. I'm not at all sure that I ought to speak to you." "Have you really been taking the sea so early," said Myra as she sat down between us, "or did you rumple each other's hair so as to deceive me?" "I have been taking the sea," I confessed.
