You
come
,
I
suppose
,
from
--
"
"
Exactly
,
"
said
Mr.
Wenham
.
"
Then
this
is
my
friend
Captain
Macmurdo
,
of
the
Life
Guards
Green
.
"
"
Delighted
to
know
Captain
Macmurdo
,
I
'm
sure
,
"
Mr.
Wenham
said
and
tendered
another
smile
and
shake
of
the
hand
to
the
second
,
as
he
had
done
to
the
principal
.
Mac
put
out
one
finger
,
armed
with
a
buckskin
glove
,
and
made
a
very
frigid
bow
to
Mr.
Wenham
over
his
tight
cravat
.
He
was
,
perhaps
,
discontented
at
being
put
in
communication
with
a
pekin
,
and
thought
that
Lord
Steyne
should
have
sent
him
a
Colonel
at
the
very
least
.
"
As
Macmurdo
acts
for
me
,
and
knows
what
I
mean
,
"
Crawley
said
,
"
I
had
better
retire
and
leave
you
together
.
"
"
Of
course
,
"
said
Macmurdo
.
"
By
no
means
,
my
dear
Colonel
,
"
Mr.
Wenham
said
;
"
the
interview
which
I
had
the
honour
of
requesting
was
with
you
personally
,
though
the
company
of
Captain
Macmurdo
can
not
fail
to
be
also
most
pleasing
.
In
fact
,
Captain
,
I
hope
that
our
conversation
will
lead
to
none
but
the
most
agreeable
results
,
very
different
from
those
which
my
friend
Colonel
Crawley
appears
to
anticipate
.
"
"
Humph
!
"
said
Captain
Macmurdo
.
Be
hanged
to
these
civilians
,
he
thought
to
himself
,
they
are
always
for
arranging
and
speechifying
.
Mr.
Wenham
took
a
chair
which
was
not
offered
to
him
--
took
a
paper
from
his
pocket
,
and
resumed
--
"
You
have
seen
this
gratifying
announcement
in
the
papers
this
morning
,
Colonel
?
Government
has
secured
a
most
valuable
servant
,
and
you
,
if
you
accept
office
,
as
I
presume
you
will
,
an
excellent
appointment
.
Three
thousand
a
year
,
delightful
climate
,
excellent
government-house
,
all
your
own
way
in
the
Colony
,
and
a
certain
promotion
.
