He had been the late Mr. Trevor's man of business, and had still the greater part of Lucy's affairs in his hands. But all that had passed from everybody's mind. Mrs. Rushton, never very resentful, was delighted now to receive Lady Randolph's invitation, and proud of the character of an old friend.
"How much older are they than you?" Jan asked. "Trevor's nineteen and Jo's eighteen, and they are the greatest darlings in the world. They always lifted the heavy saucepans for me at Bedford, and filled the buckets and did the outsides of the windows, and carried up the coals to Papa's sitting-room before they went to school in the morning, and they very seldom grumbled at my cooking...."
His bewildered brain seemed to be revolving endlessly round the thought of the telegram from Headquarters and the Colonel's words "I will not have an officer like you under my command." What was the meaning of it all? What had he done? A pang shot through him at the sudden remembrance of Colonel Trevor's assertion that Major Hepburn agreed with him.
Toinette taking good care to impress upon every British soldier who could understand her, the fact that to mademoiselle personally and individually he was indebted for all these luxuries, the fame of Jeanne began to spread through that sector of the front behind which lay Frélus. Concurrently spread the story of Doggie Trevor's exploit.
On the contrary, I write this letter purposely that you may shew it to Mr. Trevor. 'You will ask my motive for this, and perhaps will be surprised at my answer. 'By certain whimsical accidents, I have become acquainted with Mr. Trevor's principles. I believe, or I rather know, him to be possessed of a heart and understanding equally excellent.

But the moment we reach the Kennebunk I will put it into Captain Trevor's hands never fear." "Shall we really catch the battleship, sir?" asked Whistler eagerly. "We've got to, Morgan;" declared Mr. MacMasters. "As you boys say, 'there is something doing' and we must be in it." "But the battleship has changed her course, has she not, sir?"
The door of Trevor's room was ajar, and he could hear distinctly what was being said. He had no particular desire to play the eavesdropper, but the part was forced upon him. Sir Eustace seemed excited. "It is far from being my habit," he was saying, "to make unnecessary complaints respecting the conduct of the lads under your care."
"Heavens, man," he cried, "do you think I don't know all that myself? But what on earth would you have me do? Besides, he may be a good boxer, but he's got no pluck at all. I might outstay him." "Hope so," said Clowes. But his tone was not hopeful. Some people in Trevor's place might have taken the earliest opportunity of confronting Rand-Brown, so as to settle the matter in hand without delay.
Having once lost some money through the mail, she had also lost all faith in that, and knowing nothing of the ways now afforded for sending it in safety, she had been in some perplexity over this. And, will it be believed? she committed it to Miss Trevor's keeping without other guarantee than her word that Percy should receive it without knowing whence it came.
