"We have not met since, and I fancy we are both changed beyond recognition." Captain Forster looked with surprise at the strong, well knit figure.

"I certainly should not have known Mr.Bathurst," he said.

"I have changed a great deal, no doubt, but he has certainly changed more." There was no attempt on the part of either to shake hands.

As they moved apart Isobel came into the room.
A quick flash of color spread over her face when, upon entering, she saw Bathurst talking to her uncle.
