Mr. Adjutant, notify Mr. Jerrold at once that he must not leave the post until I have seen him.
Maynard had stopped suddenly in her laughing chat with two ladies, had started from her seat, wildly staring at the tall, slender subaltern who entered the gateway, and then fell back in her chair, fairly swooning as he made his bow.
