I
send
you
a
line
a
few
mails
back
to
say
that
the
three
of
us,
George,
Good,
and
myself,
fetched
up
all
right
in
England.
We
got
off
the
boat
at
Southampton,
and
went
up
to
town.
You
should
have
seen
what
a
swell
Good
turned
out
the
very
next
day,
beautifully
shaved,
frock
coat
fitting
like
a
glove,
brand
new
eye-glass,
etc.,
etc.
I
went
and
walked
in
the
park
with
him,
where
I
met
some
people
I
know,
and
at
once
told
them
the
story
of
his
beautiful
white
legs.鈥
So it had come at last! In the bitterness of my heart I gave something like a sob.
But you never did, Curtis,鈥 jerked out Captain Good, glancing at the big man鈥檚 face.
