There is very much that I desire to learn about the lands from which you come.

My friend Sir Charles speaks as though you were wanderers upon the face of the earth.

If that be so, I may hope that you will stay your wanderings meantime, and make my home yours for a while." "You are very kind, Captain Wolfe," said Julian gratefully; "if it be not trespassing too far upon your hospitality, we should be glad and grateful to accept it." "The honour will be mine," said Wolfe; "I have long desired to know more of that world beyond the seas.

Hitherto I have seen nothing save my own country, and a few of those which lie nearest to it.
But I have the feeling within me that the time is coming when I shall be sent farther afield.

Men will be needed for the strife which must soon be waged on the far side of the Atlantic, and it may be that I shall be chosen as one of those who will go thither." "That is what Sir Charles said when he gave us this letter for you," said Julian.
