Such was Guilford Duncan's mustering into the new service of work.

During this time Captain Hallam did not again engage him in conversation, but Duncan knew that the man of business was closely observing his work.
Seeing that she was determined not to answer any of the questions I longed to ask, I felt that it would be ungrateful not to do as she desired me, and I once more resigned myself to sleep.
