"Child, are you ill?" Von Gerhard's voice was so satisfyingly solicitous. "Is anything wrong? Your voice is trembling. I can hear it quite plainly. What has happened? Has Norah written " "Norah? No. There was nothing in her letter to upset me. It is only the strangeness of this place. I shall be all right in a day or so." "The new home it is satisfactory? You have found what you wanted?
Johnny decided that Bland must still have an eye on the plane. That he was secretly envious of Bland as an aviator did not add to his mental comfort. Bland could speak with slighting familiarity of "the game," and assume a boredom not altogether a pose.

The fleet's officers were social assets, its messes bought satisfyingly of local viands, and everybody was happy. All but one small group.

The American fleet, that one party's newspapers bellowed, was imperialistic, capitalistic, and decadent.
