“It ‘s the coming back that will be breathless,” exclaimed Gordon, smiling.
“You will certainly come back, then?”
“Most certainly. Mrs. Vivian is to be here another month.”
“I understand. Well, we shall miss you very much.”
Gordon Wright looked for a moment at his companion.
“You will stay here, then? I am so glad of that.”
“I was taking it for granted; but on reflection—what do you recommend?”
“I recommend you to stay.”
“My dear fellow, your word is law,” said Bernard.
“I want you to take care of those ladies,” his friend went on. “I don’t like to leave them alone.”
