Pinckney and Sommers both stared

Sommers was the first to recover.
Bradley! Nor he exclaimed impet-

Pinclzney bowed coldly.
I'm sorry, SIR" he said, "but you
are asking too much. That'll be i'm
possible"
He turned away just as Frances,
tired of the waiting, re-entered the
courtyard.
"Ah. Frances, you are readyT' he

she asked directly.

sadness and joy in it-sadness for his

Would it not be possible for you and
Lieutenant Sommers TO return with
