"How did you know, then, that I had left the service, Captain Sawbridge?" "From Mr Gascoigne, who is now on board." "Gascoigne!" exclaimed our hero.

Gascoigne," she said, "did you get any news is your husband all right?" Mrs. Gascoigne was opening the window with her back to the room and its occupants. "He's very happy," she replied gently. Betty ran out into the sunlit street and overtook the red-headed urchin who was returning to the post office with the demeanour of a man suddenly thrust into unaccustomed prominence in the world.
