The only difficulty in the way, so far, was to discover the Major's address.

I had given back his letter to Doctor Starkweather, at my uncle's own request.

I remembered that the address from which the Major wrote was somewhere in London--and I remembered no more.
"Thank you, old friend; you have given me an idea already," I said to Benjamin.

"Have you got a Directory in your house ?" "No, my dear," he rejoined, looking very much puzzled.

"But I can easily send out and borrow one." We returned to the villa.
