"And what do you think? Mr. Hallam wants me to sell The Forest to him
in order to give it to Ella as a wedding present. Shall I? Tell me.

"By Jove, I am glad! I hope it's a boy."
Eve continued:
"And there's something else, another match. Will Kerridge has asked
Jane to be his wife; her second matrimonial venture will not be as
stormy as her first.
"We are all well here, and my wounded soldiers simply love the place"
("and their nurses," commented Alan, "lucky beggars!").
"I never pass the steeplechase course but it recalls vividly to mind
that never-to-be-forgotten day when you won on Bandmaster--the Rider in
Khaki."
