Last time the Admiral made the running; to-day it was my turn for I had to unfold my scheme and go through it point by point with the sailors.
He looked up to her as men instinctively look up to good women in whatever grade of society they find them. The silent knowledge which each had of the other formed a bond of sympathy, the more delicate because it was unuttered. He said, "Long ago it must have been before the war I gave you tickets to see Peter Pan." "It wasn't to me your Lordship gave them. It was to Braithwaite." "Was it?"

When he had helped her through the traffic and they were sauntering through the Park, she took up the thread of their conversation. "I told you yesterday that I was willing to become engaged to you. I'm willing to-day." "Willing!" he emphasized. "But you don't want. The man you love is Braithwaite.
"I was in such a hurry when I left, that I'm afraid I forgot to thank him. I ought to thank him, really. He was very polite to me." Miss Braithwaite sat still in her seat and said nothing.

It couldn't be Braithwaite; Ann's vicinity was the least likely place in which to find him. As Tabs let himself into his house, he found Ann in the hall.

Then you wouldn't have come home with that poor leg and " She saw him wince and changed the subject. "But about doing things without orders, I knew that if Braithwaite if Braithwaite " Her voice sagged and her eyes misted over.
Where had he seen such a head, such a flying mop of hair? Ah! He remembered. It was the flying young devil who had attacked him and the others that night in the by-street, when Peter Niburg lay stunned!
