He joined her, as you know, at the next port above Leuraville.

It was rather canny of him to go there--yet I don't see how, in the circumstances, he could have loafed round Leuraville without making talk--though I think it was a great pity he didn't.

Of course he had his own means of communication with the township, and knew she was on board.

No one was more surprised than she at his appearance on deck next morning.

I don't think, however, that she saw much of him on the voyage.
