"It won't be more than a six-weeks' separation." "Six weeks!" she protested, piteously. "Perhaps less," he said. "I may be able to come to you for a day or two in the middle.

However, six months ago she took advantage of a stage fire to give me the slip, and till recently I believed that she was dead. Then a friend of mine Captain Silvester met her out here in India a few weeks back at a place called Shamkura, and recognized her. Her dancing qualities are superb. I think she displayed them a little rashly if she really wished to remain hidden.
"But really it's much better for me to be with my husband here. I stayed at Shamkura just as long as I could possibly bear it, and then I just had to come back here. I don't think I shall get ill really. And if I do" she made a little foreign gesture of the hands "I'll nurse myself." As Merryon had foretold, it was useless to argue with her. She dismissed all argument with airy unreason.
The colonel lost his temper after his own precipitate fashion. "Don't be such a confounded fool! Take a fortnight's leave I can't spare you longer and go back to the Hills with her! Make her settle down with my wife at Shamkura! Tell her you'll beat her if she doesn't!" Merryon's grim face softened a little. "Thank you very much, sir! But you can't spare me even for so long.
