He could not very well have refused, for Montague had taken him by the arm and started toward the car; he did not intend to be put off. He helped the General in, got in himself, and shut to the door behind him. Prentice sat staring in front of him, still half in a daze. Montague watched him for a minute or so.
Having helped the wayward 'prentice in, she faintly articulated the words 'Simmun is safe! and yielding to her woman's nature, immediately became insensible. 'I knew I should quench her, said Sim, rather embarrassed by this circumstance.

Roy Mason sat right in the front row alongside of Freddie. Nettie Prentice was on the very first bench back of the reserved seats.
