'Has he quite got over that illness?'
'Says he suffers much from dyspepsia; otherwise, fairly well. The
prospect of money-making on a great scale seems pleasant to him.'
'To Mrs. Carnaby, also, I dare say.'
'No doubt,' replied Rolfe absently.
After tea, a trio of little singers, one of whom was Hughie, gave the
songs they had newly learnt with Mrs. Morton, she accompanying them on
the piano. Rolfe sat in a corner of the room and listened, as always,
with keen pleasure.
'One more,' he asked, when they were about to cease.
They sang that which he liked best----
Fear no more the heat o' the sun
After it there came a minute's silence; then Harvey rose.
'Say goodbye, Hughie; we must be going home.'
Hand in hand, each thinking his own thoughts, they walked homeward
through the evening sunshine.
