A strong escort brought Evelyn. Aten was grinning proudly, as though he had in person defeated the enemy. And as Evelyn shakingly put out her hand to touch Tommy's arm it was only later that he realized he had been wounded in half a dozen minor ways a shadow roared over their heads.

It was a nickname he had given his son when he was a sturdy, round-faced urchin of eight, and which he had laid away regretfully in lavender, so to speak, when the boy grew to manhood. "You came, didn't you?" Kirk said, in a voice not at all like his own.
