Then her eyes filled with tears, and she turned towards the man who, with a gesture of his hand, had swept her from his path. He had arisen on her entrance, and leaned hard on the back of the chair. To my surprise he spoke quite composedly, and I realized I had made an awful mistake. "This is all wrong, Miss Jelliffe," he said. "I tried to prevent Yves from calling you.
Miss Jelliffe, who had had some slight experience with small target rifles, made a good shot at a fine stag, and we were all very cheerful. The fire burned brightly before the tent she shared with Susie, and the dry dead pine with logs of long-burning birch crackled merrily.
Miss Jelliffe has doubtless told you how she helped me with a case of diphtheria, although I am sure she omitted to say how brave and helpful she was. The danger to her is comparatively slight, I am sure, yet we must not forget that such a danger exists. If you were to start to-morrow morning you could be in St. John's before night.
I ran out of the corner to which I had retreated and pushed the foolish woman away and seized the baby's head so that it could not move. Dr. Grant stared at me, shaking his head, but I suppose I looked at him defiantly, for I was really angry with him. "This is all wrong, Miss Jelliffe," he said. "You should not expose yourself to this infection."
At their mother's bidding the little fellows said their greeting very politely.

At any rate this was followed by furious fighting; he was up in the air again, and down to the bottom of the pool, and dashing hither and yon, the line cleaving the water. At times he seemed to try to shake his jaws free from the hook. Miss Jelliffe was now pale from the excitement of it. Her teeth were close set, excepting when she uttered sharp little exclamations of fear and renewed hope.

I assured him that I was still feeling ever so fit. "We are only about a mile and a half from the place where we are to camp for the night," he told me.

Walter Jelliffe had been a celebrity when Henry was going to school; and Sidney Crane, the baritone, and others of the lengthy cast, were all players not unknown in London. Henry courted them assiduously. It had not been hard to scrape acquaintance with them. The principals of the company always put up at the best hotel, and his expenses being paid by his employer so did Henry.
