The doctors would not let you go as you are." "Then I'll get strong; I'll--" "You'll go home, and be good." "Ain't I good now ?" "Yes, you are a good, sensible fellow, and have behaved nobly, and I honour you for it, and Claude shall come and see you every day." That evening a note came from Scoutbush.
"DEAR MRS.

MELLOT--Whom should I find when I went home, but Campbell?
I told him all; and he says that you and everybody have done quite right, so I suppose you have; and that I am quite right in trying to get out to the East, so I shall do it.

But the doctor says I must rest for six weeks at least.

So Campbell has persuaded me to take the yacht, which is at Southampton, and go down to Aberalva, and then round to Snowdon, where I have a little slate-quarry, and get some fishing.

Campbell is coming with me, and I wish Claude would come too.
He knows that brother-in-law of mine, Vavasour, I think, and I shall go and make friends with him.
