"
Oh
,
yes
,
"
she
answered
airily
.
"
I
ran
it
more
by
way
of
a
hobby
than
for
any
other
reason
,
and
my
children
persuaded
me
to
sell
it
.
They
thought
I
was
overtaxing
my
strength
.
"
I
saw
that
Mrs
.
Strickland
had
forgotten
that
she
had
ever
done
anything
so
disgraceful
as
to
work
for
her
living
.
She
had
the
true
instinct
of
the
nice
woman
that
it
is
only
really
decent
for
her
to
live
on
other
people
’
s
money
.
"
They
’
re
here
now
,
"
she
said
.
"
I
thought
they
’
d
,
like
to
hear
what
you
had
to
say
about
their
father
.
You
remember
Robert
,
don
’
t
you
?
I
’
m
glad
to
say
he
’
s
been
recommended
for
the
Military
Cross
.
"
She
went
to
the
door
and
called
them
.
There
entered
a
tall
man
in
khaki
,
with
the
parson
’
s
collar
,
handsome
in
a
somewhat
heavy
fashion
,
but
with
the
frank
eyes
that
I
remembered
in
him
as
a
boy
.
He
was
followed
by
his
sister
.
She
must
have
been
the
same
age
as
was
her
mother
when
first
I
knew
her
,
and
she
was
very
like
her
.
She
too
gave
one
the
impression
that
as
a
girl
she
must
have
been
prettier
than
indeed
she
was
.
"
I
suppose
you
don
’
t
remember
them
in
the
least
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Strickland
,
proud
and
smiling
.
"
My
daughter
is
now
Mrs
.
Ronaldson
.
Her
husband
’
s
a
Major
in
the
Gunners
.
"
"
He
’
s
by
way
of
being
a
pukka
soldier
,
you
know
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Ronaldson
gaily
.
"
That
’
s
why
he
’
s
only
a
Major
.
"
I
remembered
my
anticipation
long
ago
that
she
would
marry
a
soldier
.
It
was
inevitable
.
She
had
all
the
graces
of
the
soldier
’
s
wife
.
She
was
civil
and
affable
,
but
she
could
hardly
conceal
her
intimate
conviction
that
she
was
not
quite
as
others
were
.
Robert
was
breezy
.
"
It
’
s
a
bit
of
luck
that
I
should
be
in
London
when
you
turned
up
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
’
ve
only
got
three
days
’
leave
.
"
"
He
’
s
dying
to
get
back
,
"
said
his
mother
.
