Lascelles had been removed to the hospital, where he was to remain until he was sufficiently recovered to go home. Rayner's only regret was being parted from Oliver, the dangers they had gone through together having united them like brothers. While, however, their ships were refitting they were constantly in each other's society.
I reckon he'll marry some more. Roy's only twenty-eight an' he has two big farms. He said he'd seen Nell Rayner's heart in her eyes, lookin' for you an' you can jest bet your life thet's true. An' he said it because he means you to rustle down there an' fight for thet girl." "I'll go," said Dale, in a shaky whisper, as he sat down on a pine log near the fire.

Then there are Sir Charles Goodman's training schools for deaf-mutes and the new Art Photography Company's rooms to run through before I go to the House of Commons to do my 'Bird's-eye View' letter for the Australian mail to-morrow." "My dear Mrs. Needham, you take my breath away!" exclaimed Katherine.
