"Well, I knew that you would be anxious to have even a negative assurance of Strahan's safety." "And equally so to be positively assured of your own." "I hoped that that would be true to some extent.
Merwyn parted from his plain-spoken companion, well content. Strahan's promise to return all the courtesy he received left a variable standard in Merwyn's hands that he could employ according to circumstances or inclination.
