"There is that abominable examination to be got over. Awfully clever and hard reading fellows get beaten in it every time, I can tell you." "Well, but I believe it is easier through the Militia than direct into Sandhurst, is it not? And that is the way you and I are going to try.
Unable to stop herself, Toni cannoned violently into her husband, and the unfortunate youth from Sandhurst, brought to an unexpected halt, found himself face to face with an unknown man whose expression was not exactly inviting. "Owen, is it you? How you startled me!" Toni lifted two sparkling eyes to her husband's face. "When did you come? You said you wouldn't be home till after ten!"
