"I presume you miss your uncle." There was a constraint in Mrs. Toomey's voice and manner which Kate was too engrossed and wretched to notice.
Toomey that Jap had appeared to her in the light of a handsome conquering daredevil, whose dash and confident personality made all things possible. The real test of Toomey's character had come with his misfortunes.
