Even Gaza, though it saved them so many toilsome miles, did not help them greatly because of a terrible piece of road north-east of the station, but Beit Hanun was comfortable and for the relief brought by the railway's arrival at Deir Sineid they were profoundly grateful. But this is anticipating the story of Gaza's capture.
Since then, nothing could be heard of him; and his billet in the Agency had been snapped up. "Or so they say!" said his wife, with an angry sniff. "I don't believe a word of it, Mary.
