Langdale went on, with an effort. "Charlie Cleveland dear fellow went out to them with a rope. He reached them, brought one safely back, returned for the others and and " Her voice failed. Her hands tightened upon Molly's; they were very cold. "He managed to get to them again," she whispered, "but the rope wasn't long enough. He unlashed himself and bound them together.
Only a letter from a Mrs. Langdale who lives in town. She is going to India in November, and says she will take charge of me if I care to go with her. She has invited me to go and stay with her beforehand." "Well?" said Jim, as she paused. "I don't want to go," she said. "Do you think I ought? She is Lady Bassett's sister."
Maude Wardlaw, however, did not seem to comprehend the significance of our presence, and I wondered how Kennedy would proceed. "I should like to see your Japanese servant, Kato," he began, directly, somewhat to my surprise, addressing himself rather to Miss Langdale than to Mrs. Wardlaw.
Meantime, the hour had struck, and Flora had placed Mrs. Hoxton in a sheltered spot, where she could take as much or as little trouble as she pleased. Lady Leonora and Miss Langdale came from the house, and, with the two ladies'-maids in the background, took up their station with Miss Rivers. Miss Cleveland called her party to order, and sounds of carriages were heard approaching.
Miss Langdale met us at the door and admitted us into the apartment. She was a striking type of trained nurse, one of those who seem bubbling over with health and vivacity.

Langdale was wanted for command of "B" Company. Our other Company Commanders remained unchanged except that Major Bland returned from England and took charge of "D." The billets at Bellerive, consisting of large, clean farmhouses, were very comfortable, but we were not destined to stay there long, and on the 6th marched through Chocques to Hesdigneul, where there was less accommodation.

They have shut me up she and her accomplice denied my name hidden me from the world. He is dead, and she lies there stricken for her sins. 'My grandfather died at the inn at Great Langdale, faltered Maulevrier.
Miss Langdale avoided the question, as though it were a breach of professional etiquette to cast reflections on another nurse, although whether that was the real reason for her reticence did not appear. Craig seemed to make a mental note of the fact. "Have you seen anything er suspicious about this Kato?" put in Leslie, while Kennedy frowned at the interruption.
