And presently the launch touched the
landing stage, and, as the Major advanced
toward it with some dignity, three men in
trim yachting clothes jumped cut and came
to meet hin One slightly in advance was
tall and straight and good-looking. The
breathless onlookers Immediately placed
him as the Duke. The hosts face suddenly
showed surp1se and disappointment.
