'Wait one minute, Polson, said Irene. 'Here is a letter from papa. So soon as you can recover you are to be invalided home, and the gem of the letter is do you guess? Do you guess? You are recommended by the Commander-in-Chief for the Victoria Cross. Here it is. And she read, dancing on tiptoe.
I can't leave Heron waiting at Victoria. So I dressed and proceeded direct to the station, relying upon having a few minutes to spare there during which to break my fast in the refreshment-room. Heron nodded rather grimly over my explanation of Fanny's absence, and we were both pretty silent during the journey to Dorking.
If there were much slope this water would flow off: this makes me suspect that Tanganyika is not so low as Speke's measurement.
