The tete-a-tete drive was an approach to the serious business of life, since it was evidently designed to give opportunity for answering a letter which he had thought out and written while laid up at Leukerbad by a bad cold and the reaction from his exertions at Schwarenbach. Still his father did not speak till they had driven up the hill, and were near the gates of Belforest. Then he said
"There is not much room to spare in the hotel where they are at Leukerbad, and it is a dreadfully slow place. Evelyn is growling like a dozen polar bears at it." "Why isn't he gone back with you to Eton?" "I believe it was settled that he was not to go back this half, for fear of his lungs, and you see he is a swell who takes it easily.
I cannot imagine what could ever have become of that fellow. The town in the valley is called Leuk or Leukerbad. We pointed our course toward it, down a verdant slope which was adorned with fringed gentians and other flowers, and presently entered the narrow alleys of the outskirts and waded toward the middle of the town through liquid "fertilizer."

It is in winter the only mode Leukerbad has of communicating with the world; and in summer it is the only way of reaching Albinen, except by a long journey down the Dala and up another valley and height. The bathers were certainly very lively and social at table-d'hote, where we had the pleasure of meeting some hundred of them, dressed.
"Will they be able to come back to Eton after the holidays?" asked his father. "Certainly not Armine, but Jock seems to be getting all right. If he was to catch rheumatism he did it at the right place, for that's what Leukerbad is good for. Oh, Babie, you never saw such a lark!
"When they leave Leukerbad I fancy," said John. "That's a tiresome place for anyone who does not need to lead the life of a hippo- potamus." "It can't be more tiresome than this is," said Elvira, with a yawn. "Lessons all day, and nobody to come near us."
The Leukerbad section of the party had only three days' start of the others, for Jock was not released till after a whole month's course of the baths, and Armine's state fluctuated so much that the journey would not have been sooner possible. It had been a trying time. While Dr. Medlicott thought he could not rouse Mrs.
"And you knew where the key of the closet was?" "Yes." "Where?" "In my doll's bed, locked up in the baby-house." "This is most extraordinary. When did you do this?" "Just before we came out to you at Leukerbad," said Babie, each reply pumped out with great difficulty. "Four years ago! It is a very odd thing. I suppose you had a panic, for you were too old then for playing monkey tricks."
"Thank you. Then it seems to me that the right course will be to write to Mrs. Evelyn, inclosing a note to Dr. Lucas- who it seems is Mrs. Brownlow's chief reliance -asking him to find someone to send out. She, can send it on to him if she disapproves of our remaining together longer than is absolutely necessary, or if Leukerbad disagrees with you.
